Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Creation of a new vehicular access and vehicle crossover (dropped kerb), including associated hardstanding to provide off-street parking at the front of the property. Surface water will be managed within the site and will not discharge onto the public highway.
