Free Trade Inn

Hi.

This is a quick check in about the latest application for the Malmo and Spillers Quay development. This application has actually been live for nearly a month after resurfacing with no warning. We’d have been in touch with details earlier, however they’ve not been easy to come by this time.

There’s very little publicly available in the way of renderings or images, and what is available is pretty much inaccessible as the application will not load on the council planning portal.

To try and help with understanding the latest application we’ve put some information together in a newsletter which you can find in the link in our bio, or in your emails if you already subscribe.

The official last date for comments is this Thursday 17th April, though in practice the council will accept representations up until the committee meeting.

If you’d like to make comments to the council and are lucky enough to be able to access the planning portal you can of course make comments there.

Failing that the email address to use is…

[email protected]

Make sure to include the reference number 2021/2404/01/EIA

It’s important to remember that the council will only accept comments regarding actual planning policy areas, simply stating ‘I don’t like it’ is not enough. Areas around which comments can focus include…

- Layout
- Siting (where something is positioned on the site)
- Design and external appearance of buildings
access
- Highway safety
- Impact on the neighbourhood inc issues such as parking.

We’re continuing to see what further info or images we can get a hold of, and when we do we’ll make sure to share them. In the meantime, if you‘d like to make comments to the council we hope the newsletter helps, and if you have any questions feel free to message and we’ll see what we can do.
