Bishop Alcock Road planning permission

John Fareham and John Abbott report that a planning application has been submitted in respect of reserved matters relating to the previous partial planning permission for 11 new houses on Bishop Alcock Road. The original planning application was approved last year subject to a lengthy list of conditions relating to materials. The applicants have now submitted drawings and the matter will come to Committee in due course for consideration of the remaining matters to be resolved. What this appears to suggest is a genuine commitment to putting this land, previously of course occupied by shops and flats, back into commission; in the light of some of the difficulties previously experienced with alcohol bottles and other packaging being left on site as litter, we cannot but hope that is the outcome that will follow if the Committee are satisfied with the proposals on the matters under discussion.
