Northfield Avenue and Wellington Road - Proposed Conversion to Six Flats

During the summer a developer applied for permission to build six small flats at the corner of Wellington Road and Northfield Avenue, two of them in self contained basements.  EFRA objected to this application on a number of grounds including excess density and its being out of character with the area.  In August 2014 the council's planning committee refused the application.
