To note that application seeks confirmation from the Local Planning Authority that the proposed development is lawful.

To note that the amended plans correct the distance between 6a and 8 Towersey Drive, however the amended plans do not change the Town Council’s recommendation to object to this application made on 1 February 2022 on the grounds of poor design, overdevelopment and unneighbourly.
d) St Joseph’s Church and School Signage – To note that the new signage has now been installed on Southern Road.
