The application for outline planning consent for the demolition of the existing small business units and the redevelopment of the site, for a mixed use scheme of 72 homes, was refused yesterday, 27 November against officers’ recommendation to permit the proposal. The Society’s objections highlighted the inappropriate nature of the development on the edge of the conservation area and the loss of significant employment space.
