I have been corrected by the council


I have been told that changes have been made to the Planning application mentioned in yesterdays post. The planning officer leading on the East Thames Housing Association project for Grove Farm has stated:


"Dear Mr Wilson,


Thank you for your email. On the contrary to your assertion, I can confirm that there are many changes in the revised scheme vis-a-vis the original submission, for instance: reduction in the number of dwellings, enlargement of the central amenity space, reduction in density of development, reduction in the height of the eastern block, reduction in the amount of roof terraces and introduction of pitched roofs to some of the blocks; enlargement of balconies, variation in elevational treatment; to mention some of the amendments. Perhaps you may consider going to the Duty Planner at Lynton House who would be happy to explain the changes.


Kind regards"

None of the above however, suggests that any reduction in the number of persons that this project will facilitate living on the estate has been reduced...? Moreover it is hard to decipher from the web application detilails what changes have been made. I will get copies of the plans and then write a more indepth piece on this blog and write to residents in the vicinity. Please share your thoughts....
