THE owners of an Indian restaurant in Whitchurch built an outbuilding without planning permission.
Blue Ginger, in Bell Street, has now submitted a retrospective application for the storage facility, after receiving a letter from the borough council’s enforcement team.
The building, within the Whitchurch Conservation Area, is used to store restaurant consumables and kitchen equipment.
The planning application includes a “significantly improved design” to the building’s roof, after the council highlighted that the appearance of the building needed to reflect the conservation area.

1.Clearly this has been driven by a complaint. Why is it that we have these vindictive people who want to impede others from getting on when it has no effect on themselves ?
2.We should be dramatically slashing the headcount in local authorities if they can expend so much time enforcing non-issues. I can only assume that everything else in Basingstoke and Dean is in tip-top fettle and they so they’re now moved on to looking at the most insignificant of tasks ?

1. It took the council how many years to spot this?
2. BT installs telegraph poles in the Whitchurch Hampshire conservation zone without permission too. And that after B&DBC paid for burying all the cables a few years ago. It is always a bit of a struggle to get BT to "pull the pole" -- the one in front of the old sorting office (now wine shop) opposite the Kings Arms needs to go!
