Error gives shops reprieve

A TOWN Hall blunder has granted shopkeepers in Swiss Cottage fighting for their businesses an unexpected reprieve.
Planning chiefs approved an application by developers London Merchant Securities two weeks ago to knock down the shops and flats in Winchester Road and build three new buildings with up to 73 flats.
But a planning error meant that objectors to the scheme, including shopkeepers who argued the proposal would destroy their businesses, were not informed of the meeting.
Councillors will now hear the proposals again next Thursday.
A Town Hall spokeswoman said: “This was an unusual situation because officers recommended a refusal which are not normally presented to the committee. So the normal letters informing local people of the committee meeting were not sent.
“The application will now go back to the next meeting on March 23 in order to deal with planning conditions and a legal agreement. Local people will be invited and their views heard.
“Once members have heard all the additional information, then they can come to a final decision.”
