Ward: Leominster South

The receipt of the letter of objection from Leominster Town Council, a letter from the agent of the applicants and a letter from Leominster Properties was reported. 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking Mr Walter (objector) spoke against the application. 

Councillor J P Thomas one of the Local Ward Members was not in favour of the application because he had concerns about the safety of the vehicular access, density of the proposed development and possible overlooking of adjoining properties.

Having considered all the facts regarding the application, the Sub-Committee decided that it should be approved.
