PLANNING NEWS
On 5th October the owner of the former Gorsey Cop/ Crying Tree pub in Grange Lane received planning permission (21F/1249) and listed building consent for the conversion works outlined in our June Newsletter. We hope it will not be too long before the work begins.

On 26th October
an application (reference 21PT/2199) to erect a 20-metre high 5G phone mast in Belle Vale Road, outside the St Stephen's Parish Centre, was Refused. The reasons given by the Council were that:

"1. The proposal would fail to preserve the settings and important views of the Listed Buildings: … St Stephen's Church, … Church Cottages and a 3m high Victorian signpost.

2. The proposed mast and associated cabinets, by virtue of height, siting and bulk, would appear as an undesirable and incongruous focal point in the street scene at a prominent location and would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding residential area ..."
