Coopers site, Westerleigh Road - improved plans submitted

After the Cooper phase 2 planning application was turned down recently on the grounds of highway safety issues and overbearing development on Stanshawes Drive, the developer has submitted new plans that have addressed residents' concerns.

The entrance to the office development will now go through the housing development, and the three storey part of the elderly persons building has been reduced to two, with the three storey part being moved back from Stanshawes Drive.

Residents were shown the plans before they were submitted and are delighted with the result.

As well as all these changes, Tony and Ruth Davis from the Focus team even got a dropped kerb moved that was too close to someone's drive. It shows what can be done with concerted community effort.

Coopers site development refused

Residents have thanked Tony and Ruth Davis from the Focus team for speaking out about concerns over the Coopers site planning application.


The planning committee were convinced by their arguments and refused the application due to the effect of highway safety issues and overbearing development on Stanshawes Drive.
