The City Council’s planning review committee met this morning to decide on the appeal against the planning application refusal for the proposed hostel at 23 Marywood Square.

The committee voted unanimously to uphold the planning department’s decision to refuse planning consent, citing City Plan 2, RES 15 and the conservation area appraisal.

Four objectors managed to attend the review meeting, including the chair of the Society. The applicant was also present.
