28 April (Part 3) - How bad can Bexley’s planning get?
I
was fed up with seeing the site preface so I decided to get rid of it. Most
readers will know by know that there seems to be
something rotten about Bexley’s
planning processes without the constant reminder. It may go back just before election day.
Just as I was amending the code in came a message suggesting I change my recent habits and
look at the News Shopper website.
What numbskullery is going on in the planning department now? The Shopperְ’s report
illustrates a horrendous situation in Filston Road. The development is clearly unsafe and the photos are
reminiscent of Ye Olde Leather Bottle.
The first application (19/02597/FUL) was by
Mr. Perminder Kang the Conservative
Party’s election nominator in Erith. It was approved subject to a large number
of conditions. As far as I can see none of them relate to the proximity of
adjacent properties as reported in The News Shopper which says the application was rejected for that reason.
Nine months later another application was submitted, not by Mr. Kang but by one
of my own neighbours and soon afterwards Mr. Ajakaiye obtained the permission he
was looking for, this time with fewer conditions.
Thanks to Bexley Council an elderly lady’s life is ruined.
