Lonan Parish Commissioners
ObjectionThe Board of Commissioners are astonished that this application, dated 14th March 2005, has been permitted, given that less than 12 months ago, 5th May 2004, a smaller proposal, 3000 square feet, was refused at appeal, and that there are no changes in circumstances to the environment whatsoever.; The Water Authority have stated quite clearly that the current position regarding provision of water and sewerage services in the Baldrine Area is now at it's limit, and they cannot support any further development.
