Your Association objected to the retrospective planning application for the Bricklayers’ Arms in Hatch Lane. We expressed concern about the number of significant differences between what has been built and what had been permitted. We urged the Panel members to view the site to see for themselves this “blot on the landscape”. The Panel met on Wednesday 19 August when after some debate they decided to defer the decision and to visit the site to see for themselves the impact of this development. This application is likely to be reheard in September.
