CBRA have written to Eric Pickles MP, Secretary of State for Local Government and Communities to ask him to intervene regarding the planning permission for the High Street, Beckenham. The letter asks Mr Pickles to look at the cumulative effect of the multiple planning applications that have been approved in Beckenham recently, and the fact that the Inspector allowed this application at appeal on the back of the extension in November 2011, which was on the back of the appeal in 2006. This decision was made by default, not on its own merits.
We hope Mr Pickles will intervene and work with us to investigate the matter in full. The Village Green application is still ongoing and we hope to have more news about it soon. Details, as ever, will be posted here.
The letter is attached below for anyone to view.
