Deputy is an inch too high

Planning officers have asked the St Saviour No 2 Deputy to submit a retrospective application for a conservatory he has had built at his home in Georgetown Road, after finding it exceeded the threshold for making a planning application by an inch. They inspected the building after a complaint from a neighbour. Deputy Lewis said he had been told the conservatory would not require an application – but that he had filed a retrospective application after a visit from Planning officers. He said: ‘It is a conservatory that they say is an inch higher than it should be. The builder that came around did not think it was a problem, but I have put in a retrospective application.’
