Mount Oswald - Planners recommend refusal of Banks planning application
As expected, the planners at Durham City Council have recommended refusal of the Banks planning application for Mount Oswald.
The matter is on the agenda for the City Council Development Control Committee on Thursday 10 January 2008 (5.30 pm at The Studio, Gala Theatre, Durham City).
The report (which you can see here: Banks Mount Oswald Planning report ) is scathing about the application and has virtually nothing good to say about it. Indeed the Highways Agency has gone so far as to issue a directive to the Council to refuse the application because it does not address properly the impact of the development on the strategic road network around Durham City.
So the application will be refused which is excellent news for the hundreds of local people who have supported the campaign against this montrous proposal.
Nonetheless, I hope lots of people will turn up to the meeting to show their support for having this application tossed out.
have your say
