Glenroyd House goes to appeal
The long running saga of Glenroyd House and its planning application takes another step as the Development Control Committee’s (DCC) decision to reject its last application has been taken to appeal.
To date:
August 2007 the DCC declined an application to change the whole site to offices, hosted by Derwentside CVS, on the grounds that the only vehicular access, Larch Street, (a very narrow road that runs between Glenroyd House and the terrace of Medomsley Road) was inadequate and dangerous.
Nov 2008: Appeal lodged against the planning refusal.
Jan 2008: Appeal withdrawn and new planning application submitted with car parking at the front and shared access with Rosemount home for the elderly through an enlarged opening at the front.
Application accepted subject to limits on working hours and provision of plans for car-parking.
June 2008: Third Application submitted seeking to vary the terms of the planning approval as Rosemount had declined to share access with CVS/Glenroyd. The application involved creating a completely new access alongside the Rosemount entrance.
Application rejected by DCC on grounds of pedestrian and traffic safety.
Ag 2008: Appeal
Those who wish to make representations would be well advised first to consult the file at Derwentside Civic Centre any day Monday to Friday between 8.30 a.m. and 4.45 p.m.
They should then make their submission by September 9th (sending three copies) to
The Planning Inspectorate, Temple Quay House, 3/19a Eagle Wing, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN
You must quote ref: APP/V/1315/A/08/2080021/NWF
I looked for it on the planning appeal portal but couldn’t find it, so I guess it will have to be a pen and ink job.
have your say
