“I act on behalf of Mactaggart & Mickel in respect of the above site. As previously discussed, we are still preparing the planning application for submission likely later this year. In the meantime my client has instructed a landscape company to clear the site of vegetation to allow site works to commence (when appropriate). This will commence on Monday morning 31 Oct.

Does not get my approval. Woodland obliterated to make way for 3 eight storey eyesores which will most probably be let out by buy to let owners. These flats certainly not aimed at families or older generation which the surrounding homes are.
The landscape company are not just clearing vegetation, they have already cleared a number of mature trees. Have they permission to do this? Eight story blocks are too high and will tower over existing housing.
Great news, the site has been derelict for years, cant wait to see how they will look. Lets hope they are a reasonable price.
There’s a new planning application in for the Dorchester site. The closing date for objections/comments is January 20th 2017.
