Many of you will be aware that Cllr Andrea Reiner opposed a recent planning application by the Hilton Doubletree for a two-storey extension along the Cam. Andrea spoke at the Planning Committee meeting alongside colleagues from Newnham to urge rejection of the application, stating that the plans were not appropriate for such a sensitive area of the city. Fortunately the Planning Committee rejected the application.

The Hilton Doubletree has lodged an appeal with the Planning Inspectorate regarding its planning application.

Details of the appeal and how to submit a comment can be found the Appeals area of the Planning Portal – see www.planningportal.gov.uk/pcs.

The deadline for comments is 27th September.

Be sure to quote the PINS reference for this appeal: APP/Q0505/A/12/2179861/NWF.
