Few new planning applications have been submitted in the Westfield area over the last few weeks.

The determination date for several long outstanding applications has passed. The Council may now be liable for non determination. This means that the applicant can appeal and a decision would be taken by the (independent) planning inspectorate

Those outstanding include the significant development on The Green.

The length of time it is taking to decide the application for new car parking space at the St Stephen’s Road/ Stephen’s Square junction is bordering on the ridiculous.
