Ref SAH225 (Charlemont Community Centre)
The proposal for this site is for one house, and that will have no impact on the housing stock while opening up the possibility of developers encroaching on the neighbouring open space. This proposal should therefore be rejected and the Council should instead look for ways to make use of the building as a community centre. This could be either through the Council itself, or inviting community groups to make use of it.

in addition to this site depriving the local community of a community centre, and threatening local green space, there is a vacant plot of land less than 200 meters from this site (corner of Beacon View Road and Wyndmill Crescent) that looks like it could accommodate two or three houses. Such sites should be used before opening up Green Belt and open space.
