2004/28 To receive Planning Application
As quite a number of members of the public were present, members agreed to bring forward this planning application for discussion-
FUL/2004/0229/9/AH Erection of dwelling house to the rear of 6 Teigh Road (Cllr. Rodger declared an interest and left the room)
After a lengthy discussion, members objected to the planning application on the following grounds-
- This particular plot is land locked, as the applicant has no right of way over Council owned land.
- This Council land is used for rear access for residents parking
- This proposal relies on relocating residents parking facilities into a narrow road that is already highly congested with parked cars.
- This development would ruin this part of the conservation area of the village.
- The ground level on this plot is approximately four feet higher than neighbouring plots.
(7-50 p.m. - C/Cllr. Toy left the meeting)
