Heckmondwike: Planning Round-up

Plenty in the planning round up this week!

Four new applications this week, two for extensions in New North Road and Harewood Avenue, one from the Grammar School for floodlights and a higher fence round their plying fields and one that is more of a puzzle. The one that we intend to ask more about is for an "Agricultural" building in Norristhorpe Lane! What makes a building "Agricultural" and so exempt from rates?

The developer of the 49 houses on the site of the Healy Lane Sports ground has applied for conditions to be discharged, which I think he means he has complied; we defiantly think there are problems with the boundary trees and privacy for the neighbours, so we will be asking for more information. The Six-Lane Ends “Post Office” (that stopped being a post office some time ago) seems to have accepted defeat in the competition with Nisa and has applied to convert the ground floor into a flat.
The only other application this week is for a two floor extension up Truman Avenue.
