20/01229/FUL Demolition of existing building and the construction of 18 flats above ground floor commercial areas.

This application is for a high density scheme to optimise the site’s redevelopment potential whilst completely ignoring the many relevant current national and local planning policies.

While the Society acknowledges the need for affordable housing, there are too many adverse impacts of this proposal.

The Society’s objection letter highlights its many design deficiencies, as well as the complete loss of a significant green garden space which is currently already surrounded by densely built housing.

Refusal of the application has therefore been requested. See our letter here.
