The Committee OBJECTED to the following application:

P10.21.5 EWB/ 10/00378/FUL Land At Os 9529 To The Rear Of Tanglewood Briar Avenue EW. Erection of replacement workshop. Objection:

The Council supports the neighbours’ concerns over the increased volume, size and subsequent noise from traffic accessing this site at all times. Due to the limited size of the access road, restrictions must be enforced on this development, as enlarging the property will increase business and therefore increase movements.

All conditions from WW/98/01026/ELD must be continued.

There should be no increase in the size of car transporter i.e. single vehicle carrier only.

The Council is concerned about the suitability of Briar Avenue for such commercial traffic as private cars already park on the road. For the benefit of the residents, we strongly recommend a redesign of the road i.e. widening of the road and provision of laybys.

P10.22 EWB/09/03909/OUT Exors Of N C T Watford Dec’d. Martlets Peerley Road EW. The Council was astounded by the comments made by the District Council. It was decided to take this item off the agenda until further developments.
