Mr. M. Bibby & Miss.J. Christian
Objectionthe proposed application is to close to my proposed dwelling; The site is already littered with caravans/ fast food vans and derelict vehicles, it's an eyesore; The applicant was refused a dwelling previously, so it is obvious to us why the portakabin is there!; There was no previous approval for the portakabin to be used as storage, or even to be sited on the land.
G A Clark
ObjectionThis appears as a ruse towards obtaining permission for a new dwelling on a site where it would not normally be permitted (and I think there has been a previous refusal).
Andrew Jessopp
No CommentI am not sure how or if this accords with any policy.
