• Applications received by the Local Planning Authority
  The Committee considered all planning applications received, including those listed in the schedule (PA/Schedule 11-19-24) and it was proposed, seconded and RESOLVED as follows:
  1. N/105/01566/24 – To object on the grounds of overlooking, loss of privacy, overbearing nature of proposal, design and appearance.
  2. N/105/01737/24 – To object on the grounds of access and highway safety. The Council felt that it would not be appropriate to burden Pleasant Place with more traffic as it is already extremely difficult to navigate due to it being a very narrow, terrace lined cul-de-sac and the sheer volume of parked cars which congest it on a daily basis, especially when 137 Eastgate already has a perfectly serviceable entrance/exit onto Eastgate.
  3. To support all other applications.

NB: Cllrs. Mrs. KP and Mrs. JMS abstained from voting on Planning Application 4.
