Our Association has become well used to controversial planning applications or appeals being lodged just before the busy Christmas holiday period when residents are occupied with family festivities and Yuletide celebrations. It therefore comes as no surprise to receive a notice from our local planning authority advising us of an appeal by Cala Homes against the Planning Committee's refusal to allow a development of 17 houses at The Ridings.
The notice (click here) outlines the steps to be taken in making representations to the Planning Inspectorate and includes the original planning reference number: 14/00322/FUL which should be entered in the Planning portal of the Council Website: http://my.spelthorne.gov.uk/planning/ All relevant documents, including letters of representation already submitted and the reasons for refusal may be accessed here.
