23 Beulah Road - still time to send in your objections
2007-05-23 11:35:00
No date has been set yet as new plans have been requested.Late representations about the plans can be made via local members, or to Julian Steadman, j.stedman@cardiff.gov.ukCllr. Jayne Cowan will be attending the Meeting. people can pass comments to her on 02920627757 or email jcowan@cardiff.gov.ukI don't think lowering the ridge height will solve anything as a 'grand design' is not wanted. The line of the building and the style will be so disruptive, the character and ambience of the neighbourhood will be lost forever.

Save the Pines Action Group Whitchurch
2007-04-18 10:15:00
Letter from the Save the Pines Action Group I agree with everything you said in your Echo letter.

It's a grade II listed building, one of the oldest houses in Whitchurch ,it's situated next door to old St. Mary's Church and it's set in the medieval village.
