Personal

Refused

"Only six weeks," I said, "and my neighbours and I will have an answer."

Three months later, the news this week is that the council has declined our planning application to create off-street parking at the back of the our cottages. The proposal would "have a significant adverse impact on the setting of these listed buildings," they say.

Bum.

I don't know what to say. It's as if Suffolk Coastal are actively trying to dissuade people from living and working locally, seeking instead to turn Woodbridge into a town of holiday homes. And to think I was considering staying.
