Wheelchairs win in Harold Place application refusal

After consideration, Council obstructs wheelchair-users

The planning committee report on the controversial lift case in Harold Place surprised many by recommending ‘Grant Full Planning Permission,’ despite the application’s obvious breach of the Equality Act and the Building Regs. The meeting is on Wednesday 23 March, and comments can still be submitted till Friday afternoon (18th, at 3pm). Only after the decision will East Sussex Building Control take a look. Bernard McGinley tries to make sense of the new report.
