Application Refused - Good News
Application 12/1794/FUL for the 'demolition of existing hotel and restaurant and construction of 92 residential units comprising 87 apartments and 5 townhouses with associated accesses, parking spaces and communal amenity' was refused planning permission on 21 December 2012 under delegated powers. The full decision notice with reasons for refusal can be viewed via Planning Online http://www3.threerivers.gov.uk/online-applications/
This does not mean that the developers will not appeal... so we still need to keep our eyes on this. Suggestions for the next course of action...
1) Include the site in either the Town Centre conservation area or the Upper Nightingale Rd conservation area.
2) Appeal to Greene King to keep the site as a much needed hotel and amenity for the future economic health of the town.
We will keep you informed!
Happy New Year everyone....
