Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 13268

Received: 16/03/2018

Respondent: Mrs Wendy Whitwham

Representation Summary:

The original documentation states that the current use was residential/equine, this is not correct, the land has never been granted residential planning permission, this site has had three planning applications refused and two appeals dismissed. Both Planning Inspectors considered this site to be an important gap, any development would have a detrimental impact on the Grade 11 Listed War Memorial and on the character and appearance of the area. The Inspector did not consider that existing/future landscaping would mitigate this harm, any additional landscaping would also take a substantial amount of time to establish and wouldn't necessarily be successful.
