Whilst not wishing to spread too much doom and gloom, please let us just bring to your attention a number of planning applications which have today been uploaded to the Council Planning Website.
There has been much discussion in the Planning Peculiarities Section over on the forum about the technique apparently known in development and legal circles as “holiday hijack” (definition over on the forum).
Just to be clear, we’re not suggesting that all the applications below are purposefully being submitted over this period to take advantage of the holiday break, it may just be a coincidence – others however, may be a different matter.
So here are the six applications with a consultation period over the Christmas and New Year holidays. Comments due in by 12 January 2007.
Land between 35 and 37 Madeira Road – Detached house with integral double garage vehicular access – architect Duncan Gaylor
Land at rear of Metropole – Demolition of garages detached dwelling (revised scheme) – architect Duncan Gaylor
Adjacent to east side of pumping station Esplanade – Proposed building for marine industry office and sales area to include mezzanine floor cafe boat storage area detached storage building and alterations to access roadway (revised plans) (readvertised application)
Sea Strand, Shore Road – Demolition of garage alterations single storey extension to form double garage 2 storey side extension to provide additional living accommodation
Harbour View Hotel Esplanade – Increase roof height of existing garage to provide office accommodation at 1st floor level
We’re simply bringing them to your attention.
And now can wish all our readers, an average of 900 visitors a day from over 30 countries …
We’ll see some of you at noon on Boxing Day down on the beach (we’ll be on dry land) for the Annual Boxing Day Swim.
