PLANNING VICTORY

Went along to the Development Control Committee tonight to oppose a residential application in School Lane, Barton, on behalf of six local residents. All concerned about overcrowding and parking problems. Much to my delight the Committee listened to my submission - and that of a local resident - and refused the application, despite it being recommended for planning permission by the planning officers. The vote was 10 to 1 in favour of refusal. Tremendous !
