The Save Lowfields Playing Field Facebook page points out that a significant amendment to the plans for the “Yorspace” development has been submitted.
They say “The Yorspace developers have submitted new plans for their 3 storey “communal house” building. In effect they raise the height by incorporating angled solar panels. This would make the building even more dominating and intrusive. (There are other ways of incorporating solar energy harvesting)”.
Only a couple of days to record objections to this proposal are they are hoping to have it determined at the March Planning Committee meeting.
Construction of 2 parking spaces to rear served by new vehicular access from Tudor Road.
This is also connected with the Lowfields development. It involves the provision of 2 new parking spaces to the rear of the flats. The spaces in the parking layby on Tudor Road will be lost when the new site access road is constructed. The access road will be used by construction traffic
