Welcome to the blog for the St. Edmunds Residents Association (sera). We are a group of residents for the area which we have named "St Edmunds" It stretches from York Road to Palmerston Road and from Wellingborough Road to Billing Road, Northampton. We hope to work to improve the area and foster a sense of community to the benefit of all. Please join in and help make the venture a success.

Hi I just wanted to draw your attention to a new planning application to make 48 Victoria Raod in to five seperate dwellings! This house is only a year old, had they applied for that planning origially, I suspect they wuold have needed to provide planning, which on that particular plot they could have done.
ReplyDeleteIf they rent each dwelling to couples then that could be an extra ten cars on the road, which we can't cope with.
On top of that our experience is that there is no planning for waste management and thus more rubbish ends up on the street all week long. Which really is intolerable!
we already have many houses that have been made into bedsits of multiple occupancy and we are well aware that these occupants are often short term transient people whom contribute nothing to our community. On top of that we are also aware that currently it is these properties that are most frequently visited / raided by the police and I really do not think our community should have to tolerate any more such buildings.
As such please, please could you log your concerns to the council by the 28/02/2013. The referance is N/2013/0053 and emails can be sent to planning@northampton.gov.uk
Thanks so much
Jane
