Cllr Rory Love gained two major concessions from the Council's Development Control Committee on Tuesday 29th July as planning permission was agreed by the Committee for this controversial development.

Rory succeeded in providing more protection for trees around the site, and won support for preventing ‘contemporary’ style blocks of flats being built.

However, a succession of speakers failed to persuade the Committee that the development was over-intensive. Rory also failed to persuade the Committee to increase the number of shared-equity homes and reduce the number of social rented flats.

Although the Committee has agreed the development, a formal notice is unlikely to be issued for some time as the legally binding conditions need to be agreed.

Rory and George are supporting residents of the Metropole in opposing this change of use. Both councillors believe this is an innappropriate location for the proposed development.
