PLANNING
There have been numerous planning applications on the combined sites over the years. Most recently an application (UTT/19/1585/FUL) for a 75 bedroom care home was refused on 20.10.2020.
On 31.08.2017 permission (UTT/17/1991/FUL) was granted for the demolition of West Winds and part of Almont House garden land for the erection of 5 new dwellings. In recognition of the effect coronavirus has had on the planning system, The Business and Planning Act 2020 temporarily modifies the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to enable certain planning permissions in England which have lapsed or are due to lapse during 2020 to be extended.
Under section 93A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, unimplemented planning permissions with time limits for implementation which were due to lapse between 19.07.2020 and 31.12.2020 are extended to 01.05.2021.
According to the gov.uk website this happens automatically, with no requirement to obtain Additional Environmental Approval.
