Fulmar Way planning

The West Planning Committee at its meeting in April refused the Planning application for houses on the Industrial Estate between Fulmar Way and Otterston Grove. This application had controversially been approved some time ago but one of the conditions required the developers to produce a noise mitigation scheme that would protect residents from noise from existing businesses in the Industrial Estate – and also protect these businesses from noise complaints from residents.  Despite a number of efforts to come up with an acceptable noise mitigation scheme, none of these managed to attain the level of mitigation required and the Planning Committee agreed to the Officers’ recommendation to refuse the Planning Application. The Developers are still able to appeal to the Reporter.
