In a week, it will be precisely two long years since Land & Partners outline planning application slipped through ‘Your Waverley’s letterbox!

During this, we have had a pandemic,  had three Prime Ministers and lost our dear Queen Elizabeth. 

So will Nelson get his eye back before the scheme to build 12 homes on land south of Amlets Lane is either refused or receives consent? Or will the Government soon be in charge of Waverley’s planning function?

Or could tonight be the night? When the only planning committee that Waverley now boasts lights the candles on the cake?

Days before Waverley’s former administration packed up to fight the May Polls, and in the dying hours of the eastern planning committee, it deferred, yes, seriously folks, deferred an application which had languished in the bowels of Waverley Towers for almost three years, for “more information.”

Four months later, is the decision on that application getting any closer? WW wonders. How many more are there in the system like this?

How long does it take Waverley Planners to hear a planning application?
