A busy week this week, a Garage was approved in Headlands
Close and 8 two bed apartments on the site of the Moorend Working Mans Club.
House extensions have been approved in Fairfield Road and Clarkson Avenue and,
in what I think is a first for Heckmondwike (the first I have noticed anyway),
permission for an extension under the new rules, that say if no one objects in
two weeks you can build an extension without planning permission.
Lets hope that
the tag that has been suggested for this policy “Pickles Pig Sty” does not
apply in this case on Church Lane!
An application regarding windows has been made in Victoria
Street, there has also been application to alter permission given for an
extension. We as local councillors have been involved with this case as the
builder and architect seem to have applied for one thing and built another.
The
planning process is proving very slow to react to this sort of thing and we are
watching the outcome of this application very closely.
