Detached double garage
PPC comment: No objection.

08/0324P Whiteoak Cottage, Collar House Drive (Louise Whinnett 23/4/08)
Replacement dwelling
PPC comment: Inappropriate development that is far bigger that the 30%. The replacement of 150 year old cottages beside a Coach House built in 1896 and of some historic interest by a larger three storey house on this green belt site., would by virtue of its size design and relative position have an overbearing affect and reduce the residential amenity of the adjacent property. Contravenes every aspect of GC11, DC1, DC2, DC3 and DC4. The Committee would also like to formally object to not having a copy of the revised plans to make a adequate judgement.

08/0504P 41 Meadow Drive (Jo Wise 23/4/08)
Two storey front and rear extensions, alterations to side roof
PPC comment: No objections.

PPC comment: The Committee strongly object to this application as they feel it is un-neighbourly and this could be solved by re-location of the property lower down on the site. There is concern about the safety of road users on Castle Hill whilst the building work is ongoing and would request that a condition be added that all construction vehicles park on the site. As per comments for application 07/2389P.
