We received notification on the 7th January that the plans for Lea Bank have at this stage been withdrawn (though they can be re-submitted).
This is great news obviously, please watch this site for further news or join the Facebook group by clicking the image below.
The letter received read as follows :-
Dear Sir/Madam
Planning Application
Demolition of existing house and construction of 11 new dwellings at Lea Bank Sleningford Road Bingley West Yorkshire BD16 2SF
I am writing to inform you that the application at the above address was withdrawn on 5 January 2010, at the applicant’s request.
Please note that the applicant has the right to resubmit his proposal within twelve months of the making of the earlier one without incurring a further planning fee. Any such application will be similarly publicised, however should this happen I would ask you to make your representations again, if you wish, as I cannot `transfer’ objections from one application to another.
Thank you for expressing an interest in this matter.
Yours faithfully
Richard Cryer
Planner
