Bishop Blackall Update
January 13, 2012 in St James
Residents of Thornton Hill and nearby streets must be getting tired of yet further applications being submitted for the development of this site, about which we reported in the autumn 2011 issue of St James Ward News. At the time
of going to print, we understand that the latest application has now been withdrawn as the developer has not been able to satisfy the City Council’s requirements. The developer has gone away to reconsider the situation. There may be a delay before a further application is submitted.
Keith Owen, the St James Labour council candidate, says: ‘The only possible good thing that can be said about this is that by dragging things out in this way, the developer is delaying the planned development. Many local residents fear that when it is completed, it is likely to be detrimental to the area.’
