At last nights WTC Planning Committe, a short presentation was given by Allison Homes in respect of their application for 175 dwellings along Drybread Road.
Questions were asked about the positioning and type of play equipement being installed and when it would occur in the time frame.
The application is recommended for approval by WTC.
Ref Former Saxon Brickworks – application to increase throughput, – during the public forum ‘Brenda ?’ spoke out about Whittlesey becoming a ‘Toxic Town’.
A relatively short debate took place and WTC decided to recoomend refusal on grounds of
more noise, more, dust, more pollution and more traffic.
