Land rear of 91-117 Copers Cope Road

This is The Old Nursery where consent was given after the LBB refused the application, then contested the Inspector’s decision to uphold the appeal but lost the case in the High Court. A later application that would have made it unnecessary to demolish houses on the road frontage was refused for reasons of access and pedestrian and vehicle safety. Site clearance took place during the spring of 2011 and a further revised application for some reconfiguration of the site was approved at a Council Plans Committee on 9th June. Subsequently, an application for variation of conditions related to replacement of the same number but of different trees from those that had been stipulated in the original proposal and this amendment was approved on 18th October. Since that date building has started, though some further applications for minor-material amendments have been agreed and some appear to be awaiting consent.
