A planning application for 3a Undercliff Gardens, home to Michael Jennings was considered at last night at the Planning Committee.
The case officer responsible, Steve Cornwell, was recommending conditional permission on the development where Michael Jennings has been up to his old tricks of building first and then seeking retrospective permission (what this means, is getting planning permission granted and then changing what’s built and if someone happens to notice, slapping in a planning application in an attempt to approve what you’ve built anyway – something we feel is very wrong).
The Planning Committee decided last night with a vote of 14-0 to refuse the application and stated that it should it reverted back to that which was approved in March 2006.
To say that this development has been contentious, is a huge understatement. There have been at least two years of upheaval for everyone involved.
