Nadine Watts: Update on Planning Application off of Croft Road

Many residents have contacted me regarding the planning application of off Croft Road and shared their concerns. I opposed planning application S/OU/14/0859 for 62 dwellings at Croft Road as it is not in the local plan and I think this land should act as a buffer between the existing houses on Croft Road and East Wichel.

The outstanding issue is that the Council are still waiting for feedback regarding the s106 justification statement.  (s106 of the 1990 Town and Country Planning Act is a 'planning obligation' with a developer, where it is necessary to provide contributions to offset negative impacts caused by construction and development, eg. new open space).

Another extension of time of the application determination date has been agreed.  A decision on this proposal should now be made by 6 November. 

I am aware that this has been going on for some time now.  As soon as I have any more news, I'll let you know.

Please do not hesitate to contact me in the meantime if you have any further questions.
