Update on Planning and Conservation Issues
Sunrise Homes
Sunrise Senior Living has submitted a third application to develop a care home for the elderly on the site of 1-3 Langley Avenue, and Cumbrae and Oakdene in Upper Brighton Road. This time, the plan does not involve the demolition of the 3 Langley Avenue property, although most of its garden would contain the new construction. An underground car park is planned, and the number of residential rooms is being reduced from 74 to 64.
The reference number of this application, which is available for inspection electronically on RBK's website, is 08/16232/FUL (see RBK planning application for more details).
The SRA committee would find it useful to receive a copy of any letter you send to RBK.
Land adjacent to Penton (Woodlands Road)
Planning application for a detached 2 storey 5-bedroom house to be built on the land adjoining Penton has been approved (see RBK planning application for more details) and work has started to clear the site. Condition 7 (Tree Details) of planning permission 06/16432 has been discharged. See RBK planning application for more details.
Neighbouring residents and the SRA have been surprised by the extent of the site clearance and are discussing their concerns with the council.
Southborough Close
Taloe Homes has submitted an application for a detached 2 storey, 5 bedroom house with integral garage to be built on the land adjacent to 14 Southborough Close (previously part of Penton's garden). See RBK planning application for more details. Their earlier appeal against the refusal of permission for a detached 2 storey 4-bedroom house was dismissed by the Planning Inspectorate on 6 March. See RBK planning application for more details.
