New worries over controversial homes in Seager Road, Sheerness

Workmen have been altering the driveway to the controversial Seager Road housing development in Sheerness.

Campaigner Susan Holmes said: “Despite an enforcement notice being served on this site, workmen were there all last week – and heavy plant has been delivered.

“I have asked Swale planners to tell me what is going on.”

Susan Holmes and Wayne Featherstone who say the development to the rear of their properties has exceeded the height agreed in the original planning permission by nearly 2m.

The Planning Inspectorate has now confirmed that Moat Housing, which has built 27 houses and eight flats on the site off Marine Parade, has lodged an appeal against Swale council’s demand to have the homes pulled down because they flout agreed plans.

A public inquiry will now be heard. Those who want to comment should email the Planning Inspectorate at Teame1@pins.gsi.gov.uk or write to 3/23 Wing, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Bristol BS1 6PN, quoting references APP/V2255/W/15/3133112 and APP/V2255/C/15/3133113 by Friday, November 20. Previous comments will automatically be forwarded.
