REJECTION of plans for a new 116-space car park near the town centre has resulted in a fresh appeal being lodged by the applicant.
A long-running bid to transform the empty land, off Old Mill Lane, into a car park with traffic lights was last refused in February following another failed application in 2018.
Council planning bosses said applicant Wayne Hadfield’s plan would cause an ‘unacceptable impact on highway safety’.
Mr Hadfield has lodged an appeal, a planning report - which will be discussed by councillors on Tuesday - confirmed.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
