We recently reported that the planning application to demolish the waterboard cottages and build two pairs of semi-detached flat rooved dwellings, was turned down by TRDC Planning committee. The developer has now submitted a new application (ref: 22/0227/FUL on the Council website).
This application has addressed the 3 main reasons for the earlier refusal viz (i) a flat roof out of keeping with the neighbouring properties, (ii) excessive glazing and inappropriate design to the front of the properties and (iii) inadequate parking – the proposals did not meet agreed standards for this size of property.
We are therefore not opposing this application and our comment letter can be viewed on the Council website under the above number.
A further complication is the matter of an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate on the original application. We have heard that this has happened in this case but no-one has yet been officially informed because the Planning Inspectorate has not yet formally started the process. We do not know why the applicant has done this when they have now submitted a new application, but elsewhere this has resulted in the original plan being reinstated.
