The parish council has registered its comments and objections to these items.

This month, the council raised objections to one of the planning applications to which it was to give consideration.

This was for eight dwellings, of varying sizes, with access, parking and associated works on land adjacent to 24 Lonbridge Road.

Overcrowding was the main objection.
