Watchdog Comments On Applications
Use the links below (arranged in year/application number order) to see the comments made on applications that have not yet been determined. Only applications where Watchdog has commented are listed. New applications where no comment has yet been prepared are on the New Ones page.
Click on the chosen application number and the Watchdog comments will display in a second window in a format that can be printed or downloaded. Click on the location and the on-line planning documents will be displayed in the second window. Each "Comment" link in the Outcome column will take you straight to the council's on-line comment facility if you want to make your own comment.
Where a decision has been placed on the planning file, we will show this in the "Outcome" column. For Permit, Consent and Withdrawn outcomes the entries will remain for two weeks (the latest additions in bold, the previous week's in normal text) and then delete the entry completely to keep the list to a reasonable size. Refusals entries will remain until the window of opportunity to appeal has expired. Older decisions can be found on the Decisions page.
For a very quick indication we have added symbols:
= Support 
= Objection No symbol = General Comment.
Frome House, Lower Bristol Road was originally refused as 21/04147/FUL and this refusal was appealed. The applicants then submitted a smaller scale application 22/01299/FUL which was far less harmful to the nearby listed structures so we had no need to comment on it from an appearance perspective, but it was refused for other reasons. That too was appealed. On 20 April 2023 both refusals were overturned. They both apply to the same building so only one of the permissions will be taken forward.
The registration of 23/04143/COND makes it clear that it is 21/04147/FUL with its Conditions that is going to be developed. That application covers Conditions 4, 5, 6 and 18. 24/00200/COND covers Condition 14. 24/00310/COND covers Conditions 7, 9 and 15 (approved apart from Condition 7). 24/01938/COND covers Conditions 7 and 8. The most recent application 24/03013/COND covers Conditions 12, 16 and 20 for cycle storage, landscape works and gull deterrence, which was finally accepted on 7th November 2024. There is nothing in the Decision Notice to explain why it was delayed.
