37 Furlong Road: Permission Refused!

Wycombe District Council has refused planning permission (for the moment) for the proposed demolition and redevelopment of 37 Furlong Road. The decision notice was posted on the planning website on the 17th July together with a number of other related documents. The reasons for the refusal makes interesting reading. You can find all the related documentation here.

What this does show is that the community can achieve something if we all get behind it – it makes sense now to double our efforts to get behind the flag to get the traffic issues on the road resolved!

Traffic: Latest News

Ian Francis presented the Furlong Road traffic petition at the Council meeting on Thursday 3^rd July.

The meeting went well with a very positive attitude from all Local Councillors, Simon Fowke, David Watson (chairman) and Mike Appleyard. The traffic councillor, Ken Moloughney has made a visit to Furlong Road and was also in agreement that improvements need to be made. The timescale for the improvements will not be immediate because of budget restraints, but if we continue to apply pressure there is a real chance that improved traffic management will be implemented.

It seems likely that the next step will be to organise some meetings between Furlong Road / Close residents and Council members to see which of the proposals are most favourable. A document with details of our petition along with possible solutions was issued at the meeting. Ian has asked permission for the relevant parts of the document to be published on the F.R.A.G. website. If and when this is forthcoming we will post this information along with any possible dates for meetings
