To quote for the house –

Please note that the applicant lives in West Wickham!

The planning applications were issued in May 2008, myself and a significant number of my neighbours objected at the time, a revised scheme was reissued in Aug ’08 that had no obvious difference, so we objected again and the it all went quiet, until ….

…last week out of the blue we received a letter from the council inviting us to an informal meeting to – “enable an assessment to be made of the areas of concern before the application is considered by the planning committee.”

I would be interested to hear the views of other members of the forum either here or by PM and whether you would be interested in supporting myself and my neighbours.
