 20151503 – The Whiffler, Boundary Rd, Hellesdon. Proposed 30 bedroom Hotel
within the grounds of existing pub/ restaurant including parking, landscaping and
associated works.
RESOLVED to object due to the current inadequacy of parking facilities which with
development increases demand but removes current spaces. Pollution from noise and
smell. The design and height of the building being three storeys is out of keeping with
the street scene and causes an overlooking impact to neighbouring bungalows.
Currently the area is served by large hotels and the concern is of need. Flooding in
inclement weather affects the rear of the public house. Parking provision does not
meet current parking standards.
20151572 – 18 Westwood Drive, Hellesdon. Single Storey Extension & Detached
Garage
RESOLVED to support.
Y/5/2015/5007 – Heather Avenue County First School, Warren Avenue, Hellesdon.

noted the deadline for response had passed and
RESOLVED the amendments do not alter the original decision to support.
