NEW YORK: The four hundred and thirteenth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
Councillors on the council’s central sub-area planning committee went against the advice of planning officers and refused Abbeyfield’s application to build a 69-bed extra care facility, a communal area and new community centre last December.
The single reason for refusal was that the harm caused by the proposed development would outweigh the benefits owing to its unacceptable impact on the character, appearance and amenities of the area and would result in the loss of an area of open space that has been used and enjoyed by the local community for many years.
Abbeyfield has now appealed against that decision.
