We are fielding a number of complaints relating to planning currently.

We recognise that there has been a recent decision to change the use of a property in Kennett Road which appears to have conflicted with advice from County Highways re exemption from RPZ permits. We are pushing for the decision notice to be amended.

There have also been some issues regarding length of time to resolve planning applications, particularly those affecting Conservation Areas. We are asking the City Council to improve communications with customers in this area to ensure they are kept informed if there is likely to be a delay in determination.

There is concern about acceptable noise levels and start and end times for works in Latimer Road. It appears that works are starting at 07:00 however we have found evidence to show that building works should not commence till 07:30 because of unacceptable noise nuisance to neighbours. We have asked for clarification on this.
