• New Applications

• 87B London Road, removal of garage and design change

The proposal is to vary the design of the layout of the built form permitted in WP/16/00430 including converting the garage to a lounge.

Proposed response:

The Parish Council objects to the loss of a potential parking space for this off-road development because the nearest roads (London Road and Hewletts Close) are already congested.

This may be a moot point because we understand that there may be legal constraints that mean that there is no legal vehicular access to the plot and that it may not be possible to fulfil Condition 7 of the original application (WP/16/00430) which requires surfacing work on land over which the ownership is not under the control of the owner of the plot.

• WP/2008/0179, access to the new turning head at the top of Hope Street

A further email has been sent to the officer who is handling this with copies to the councillors.
