Earlier this month, I blogged about a plan to put two one-bed houses in the front garden of 2 More Close Purley, which already has planning consent to be replaced by yet another block of 9 flats. On careful inspection of the plans, it turns out that the new application proposes to pinch some of the space currently allocated to parking for the consented scheme! It's therefore invalid, because each application must be self-contained and "stand on its own two feet", and not encroach on adjoining properties. I have therefore objected in the strongest possible terms and recommended that the plan be rejected outright. A new plan needs to be submitted which considers both sites, if that it is indeed what is intended.
