24 Hillclose
Since the election, the appeal decision on the most recent planning application at 24 Hillclose has been announced. Read it here. Another planning application for a house aligned with the rest of the street has since been submitted and, as it is very similar to a previous permission, just having a basement added, it is likely to be approved and built.
Details of this planning application are here. The text of Christine's speech to Stroud District Council's Development Control Committee, which she submitted to the appeal inspector, is here. However, the SDC webcasts of this and her speech to Stroud District Council on 11 November 2010 in the debate on the council's schedule of delegation in respect of planning are no longer available on the SDC website.
The full text of the 2009 planning appeal decision is here.
