We spoke about the planning application for the 9 new two storey “mews- type” houses in place of the existing mixed two-storey and single storey sheltered housing which has all been vacated. The committee agreed to grant planning permission and agreed to two significant improvements on the planning conditions which were to ensure that the proposed development was not fitted with entrance gates and to ensure better screening with “new” semi-mature tree planting to the north of the site facing no. 43 Salisbury Road to reduce some of the potential overlooking. The building works are expected to start soon.
