Development behind Fortune Green Road

Flick and I will be attending another Development Control (ie planning) committee tonight .  Of particular local interest is the item labelled 'Site to the rear of 84-86 Fortune Green Road'.
The site (which I've circled in blue on the map below) is quite tucked away.  Its hidden down quite a small private road (marked in orange) that opens onto Fortune Green Road opposite the green.



This application actually came to the committee over the summer - but we didn't think the officer's report gave a very accurate representation of the site - so we asked that the decision be delayed until the committee could visit the site themselves.
That has now been arranged and the issue is coming back for decision.  As you can see from the photos from the site visit that lane is very crowded already.

 
 
 

What the photos don't show is that there are quite a number of applications that have already been approved for that lane - but are yet to be built.  More information should be forthcoming at the meeting - so it will be interesting to see how the officers address the questions raised by the site visit.
