EastendHomes estates - revised planning application now online

After five trips to Tower Hamlet Council's Strategic Development Committee meetings at the Town Hall, the EastendHomes planning application for deevlopments on the Eric, Treby and Brokesley Street estates was finally refused for four separate reasons.

HOWEVER - the revised planning application for Eric, Treby & Brokesley Estates has now been published online.

The plans were submitted without any attempt from EastendHomes to consult residents living in the area who are affected by the application or the Mile End Residents Association.  This is what we and members of the Strategic Development Committee have been pushing for in the last many months but it all fell on deaf ears.

We shall be taking a closer look at these plans and will keep you informed.

DOCUMENTS:  

• Reference no PA/09/02065L -  Application for full planning permission to regenerate the existing Eric and Treby Estate in Mile End East, London, E3, comprising the refurbishment of existing buildings, the demolition of 14 bed-sit units at 1-14 Brokesley Street and the erection of buildings between 1 and 7 storeys

• Click here to download the covering letter.
• As before there are a huge number of documents - most of which titles which are less than helpful
• You may also notice that some of the plans are posted at a jaunty 90 degree angle!  (Do feel free to comment to the Council about how easy or otherwise you find their website!)

COMMUNICATING WITH THE COMMUNITY:   

• At the time of writing, the official Planning Notices have NOT yet been posted in all the relevant streets.
  
• Those who objected last time have still NOT yet received their letters advising them of the revised planning application - but then there is a postal strike! 

COMMENTS:  The deadline for comments on the application is 16th November 2009.

COMMITEE MEETING:  LBTH Planning Officials have confirned that the application will not be reported to the Strategic Development Committee on 10th November (next meeting) but if the application were to be recommended for approval, the first available meeting would be in early December.
