101 Clockhouse Lane Planning Application


My final words, almost a year ago on the last planning application for this site were “We now wait and see if yet another planning application will be made on this site”. (see previous story by clicking here). And 12 months later, it is here

Another planning application at 101 Clockhouse Lane, Collier Row, has been submitted to Havering Council for the part demolition of 101 Clockhouse Lane and the formation of a new access road and four bungalows, this is one more than last time and that application was refused.
Cllr Mann has “Called in” the application, which means no decision can be made unless it is refused by officers are goes in front of a committee of Councillors to decide. If you live near by, and have an issue with this application, you need to write with your objections by 6th November to the head of Regulatory Services at Mercury House, Mercury Gardens, Romford, RM1 3SL and quote Planning Reference No. P1510.08.

The last application was refused for the following reasons, "By reason of the proximity of the access road and the intensification of vehicular activity close to residential properties adjoining the access road, be detrimental to the residential amenity of neighbouring properties, contrary to Policy DC61 of the Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Submission Development Plan Document".

I can see nothing that has changed to address any of the original concerns. Cllr Mann said "I have almost lost count of the application on this site, I think this is the sixth one since 2002, the last application ended up at a public enquiry meting of the Planning Inspectorate, an independent body that regulates planning appeals. The Inspector agreed with myself and local residents that this site was not appropriate for development".
