In light of the Planning Authority’s refusal of the original application (P13/V0697/HH) on the grounds of its size, scale, proportions and position, which would be visually intrusive and have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the street scene, the Parish Council feels that due to the small amount of change in this resubmission, it objects on the same grounds as the Planning authority’s original refusal.

  1. Clerk’s report

6.1 Received e-mail from the Enforcement team regarding 137 Upper Road explaining that as far as the department is concerned there were no grounds to continue any investigation at this time. Clerk responded directly to Adrian Duffield, Head of Planning, explaining that the Council did not feel due consideration had been given with regard to this investigation and that it was not happy with the response received. Copied letter to Nicola Blackwood (MP) and both District Councillors.

6.2 Local residents of Bagley Wood Road were very concerned about the proposed development at 35 Bagley Wood Road. Clerk informed the Planning Department of the strength of local opinion and also that the Council strongly opposes the removal of the high bank (on the Definitive map) to enable a change of access.

6.3 Head of St Swithun’s School contacted the Clerk asking if it would re-consider its comments regarding 52 The Avenue – the school object strongly to the large side window being proposed as it will overlook the playgroup toilets and play area. Clerk explained that the Planning Committee’s comments had already been made and could see no valid reason for objecting to the proposals.
