86.1 Blackman, Pavie & Ladden Site, Marley Lane.

P06/07.87 Planning Appeal result
87.1 RR/2006/1027/P Chittlebirch Oast, Cripps Corner. Retrospective application for field gate and proposed construction of stables. APPEAL DISMISSED - proposed development would impair the openness of the appeal field and the closed-in features of the lane, the access would substantially disfigure the closed-in features of the lane and undermine its value in the landscape, the proposed stable building would look intrusive because of its distinct position unrelated to other buildings.
