In 1973 agricultural land was transformed into the Greenbarn Way estate.
As part of the process it was agreed that the land could only be used for residential properties and would contain a number of open spaces.
Due to increase in population it was deemed that the community centre car park needed to be enlarged. As such a parcel of land was given to the council specifically to enlarge the Community Centre Car Park. This forms part of the required open space on the estate. It is on this land that the applicant wishes to build.
The open plan design of the estate would be comprimised by the fencing around the building
Approximately 25% of the already over utilised carpark would be lost. The carpark is frequently used for community support, eg blood donations.
