Woking rejects plans by its own development company
0Woking Borough Council’s planning committee has thrown out a planning application made by the authority’s own development company.
The committee last week rejected an application for a 17 storey residential tower and combined heat and power plant.
It overturned the recommendation of planning officers, which said that the scheme, by standalone company Thameswey, would be acceptable in planning policy terms.
Speaking during the meeting which made the decision, committee member Tahir Aziz said: “If we are going to put 247 rooms above this power station it’s going to be … hazardous.”
He said that the rooms proposed in the development were “very tiny and suffocating”.
