The Tewkesbury Lodge Estate Residents' Association will be strongly objecting to this application.

I've spoken to Geoff Whitington, the planning officer involved, who has confirmed that the official deadline for submission of comments is now 1 November.

In view of the number of objections received so far, the application has to go to a Planning Committee for consideration - if it is not rejected by Officers first. Before it goes to Committee a 'Local Meeting' would be held to allow the developer and local residents to make their views known.

The availability, or otherwise, of access from Sydmons Court would be a consideration for the planners.

Clearly, it is important for all those with views on this application to make them known to the Council. A simple email via the link on the planning website is sufficient.
