Have we reached the end of Avenue Road?

Those residents of a certain vintage will recall - provided they still have a good memory - the early plans for the development of 100 Avenue Road. That reviled scheme proposed by Essential Living never lifted off the runway, but the idea was picked up by local developer Regal who submitted a re-worked scheme, to little in the way of applause from neighbours and residents' groups. A revised version of the Regal plan (ref 2025/0852/P) goes before the Planning Committee on the 5th June (7pm at the Town Hall, Judd St).

"The officer's recommendation to the Committee is that the application(s) be granted subject to a Section 106 Legal Agreement."

From bitter past experience we must assume that the Committee will rubber-stamp the officer's consent.
