Bernard Morgan House - new planning application!

Taylor Wimpey have submitted a new planning application for the demolition and replacement of Bernard Morgan House.

I understand there are only a few changes, but they must have been significant from Taylor Wimpey's point of view.  There will be a slight reduction in the number of flats in the building, a balcony or two will be removed, but otherwise it's just the same as the last application.

I heard that the reduction in the number of flats was to get below some threshold where more money would have to be given towards social housing.  The removed balcony may be related to light surveys taken from nearby flats in the Cobalt Building.

I understand that any objections received for the last application will be rolled forward to the new one, but if you want to be sure you could email the planning people with your objection again.  I'll be writing to remind them of the house group objection.

Here is the notice (sorry for the delay in posting this)
