Allderidge Avenue planning application

John Fareham and John Abbott have agreed with officers that a planning application for extensions to a house in Allderidge Avenue is to be rejected. The officers gave consideration to the application when it was received and considered it appropriate to reject it as the proposed alterations were not acceptable in terms of either residential or visual amenity. They then asked us whether we preferred to have it rejected by the officers under delegated authority or to have the matter discussed in open Committee. We both replied that we preferred the former option and, provided the matter is not thereafter taken to appeal, that is where the matter can be expected to rest.
