The Council’s decisions were not appealed. On 31 October 2006, Commencement Notices were lodged in respect of planning applications, SD06A/0351 & SD06A/0666.

In November 2006 complaints were received from a number of residents in the vicinity of the development site concerning the development works. The complaints mainly concerned the residents’ unawareness of the proposed development and questioning the validity of the permissions.

However, the applicant met the requirements of the Planning & Development Act 2000, in each application and the permissions are valid. Works is ongoing on the site and it will be monitored to ensure that it proceeds in accordance with the permissions granted.

The Councillor will be kept informed as the investigation progresses.
