This will have to be a quickly scrambled post as there are more plans to review! Yes folks, the owners have submitted yet more revisions.
The new plans allow for seven two-storey four-bedroomed houses seemingly with fewer cars. At first sight, there is still a lot of concrete and we remain worried about the increase in traffic that will arise.
We don't know yet whether there will be a completely fresh consultation exercise or a continuation of the previous one. No doubt we'll be getting Stafford Borough Council's standard letter about this and no doubt it won't tell us very much. We'll be sending off our, by now, standard email to find out.
Another thing that has troubled us from the start of the whole sorry saga is that the owners are not required to resubmit a design statement when they change the plans. All we have to go on is a drawing or two. As was previously the case, there is no written description of these houses or the surrounding area. Would you buy a new house simply from looking at a drawing?
When we know more, we'll let you know.

Yet more amended plans with no narrative to describe them are difficult to pass any new/different comment on.Unless it is my eyesight with the difficult to see plans I disagree a little....I still count 8 houses on the document ?
ReplyDeleteThe problem is finding the correct set of plans. There are so many of them!
ReplyDeleteIf you look in the document referenced 871186 Revised plan/ details, you should find that seven houses are shown.
Looking at the same set of revisions dated 9/04 I certainly count 8 houses in 871195.
ReplyDelete871195 contains the old plans which have been superseded by the revisions. The plans we have been asked to comment on are in 871186. Take a look and you'll find seven houses. Honest!
ReplyDeleteHope this helps.
