We have just become aware of a planning application (240778) made at the end of March seeking confirmation that an intended change of use of 23 Almond Close Barkham for use as a children’s home for occupation of up to three children age between 5 and 18 (with 1 or 2 responsible adults) and would not therefore constitute “development” and would not therefore need planning consent.
The consultation period ends on 3rd May – so comments need to be filed with the Council by then. A number of the residents of Almond Close have already sent in objections.
