When will he ever learn?
We heard from the planning department that Michael Jennings, developer for St Joseph’s in Madeira Road, has been at it again.
Despite the original planning permission granted for St Joseph’s an explicit excluding him, he built roof terraces overlooking neighbour’s gardens.
After he was reported for breaking that condition, he then had to submit new planning permission to seek permission to retain them.
Not surprisingly, this was refused with the additional condition that in order to avoid any future tenants using the space against the planning rules, he was required to fill the roof space in.
So far, so bad.
Guess what? He has now asked for permission to reverse this condition so he does NOT have to fill the roof spaces! Jeez Louise!?!
Thankfully the enforcement and planning officers are on the ball on this one and have refused his request.
Some might describe it as perseverance – many more would call him the sort of words that gets us banned from County Hall.
