Revised Plans Published

The revised plans for the pub have now been published on the Staffordbc web site.  As far as I can tell the following changes have been  made:

• There are now four separate blocks of flats each comprising two storeys
• Two of the blocks run adjacent to the Leadenhall Lane end
• A longer block runs the length of what is currently the car park to the rear of the pub
• The fourth runs alongside the field to the north of the pub
  
• The four blocks surround a central parking area which lets out directly onto Stone Road
  
• There is a total of 20 flats altogether with parking for 27 vehicles

However, only the plans themselves have been published.  There is no accompanying text by way of explanation!   Not only that but John Holmes has yet to advise how the submission of the revised plans affects the overall consultation process.   I for one shall be writing to voice my protest at this lack of communication.

As reported in an earlier post, Ian Parry recently met the owners to discuss the revised plans.  Councillor Parry advised them to hold a public consultation exercise to explore what sort of proposals residents might find acceptable.  That meeting took place on Tuesday of this week.  The revised plans were published today, just two days later. This must surely further demonstrate the lack of concern the owners have for local sensitivities and sound common sense.
