Barratt Homes has submitted a planning application to vary Condition 5 of their current planning conditions. This includes the removal of a type of cladding no longer acceptable and glass balustrades which are combustable!

While in essence these changes sound imperative, they only apply to a certain area of the site and our concern is there is nothing in the application that states that the cladding and balustrades are of required standard for the rest of the development. We will therefore ask that this application is de-delgated so that there is an opportunity to discuss all the changes at a planning committee.

To read more, click on the button below and type in the application number DM2023/01708 (we use to provide links directly, but they sometimes time out). The main documents to read are ‘Planning Statement’ and ‘Schedule of Change’.
