Park House

Last night's planning committee agreed to extend the lifetime of the permission on Park House. However, during the hearing the applicant's agent claimed that work had already started on the previous permission.  It was unclear whether this constituted a"material start" and whether the possible building work is therefore under the old permission or the one granted last night.  It does, however, mean that a site that has blighted that part of the town centre for years might finally be put to productive use.
