14.360 Public Speaking Time
Mr M Thomas spoke about application 15/0009/FUL. He explained that he and his
wife live at 3 Sherbrook Close and the new extension at 18 Northview Road had
created a considerably larger house which was now closer to theirs. The application
was to remove the condition from the previous (approved) application for nonopening windows with obscure glazing. He said this would result in a loss of privacy,
both inside and outside their home. They were concerned that the applicants would
be able to see inside his house. He passed the Clerk some photographs showing
how the windows looked into their dining room, kitchen and all bedrooms and asked
that the Town Council did not support the application.
The Chairman, Cllr A J Dent, thanked Mr Thomas for his presentation.
Mr S Hagger said that the Town’s cyclists were disappointed that no progress
appeared to have been made to create a cycle path on The Green and the cycle
racks had yet to appear. He urged the Town Council to push the District Council for
some progress on these projects.
Cllr T D Wright said he would report on this in his District Councillor’s report.
One member of the public left the meeting.
