Tonight the Development Control Committee will be discussing an application to build social housing on some dilapidated garages and unused council land at the back of the Pollards Oak Road shops.
This application was first proposed last year and whilst a great idea in principle had the major drawback that it would have blocked off a well used footpath connecting the railway station with the iron footbridge connecting Pollards Oak Road Shops with Nunappleton Way. Because of this I strongly opposed the application and it was withdrawn. I am happy to say that an application has now been submitted which retains the pathway. I very much hope (and expect) it will now be approved.
