No. 0408 Cranleigh, Church Hill. Erect two dwellings It was proposed by J Cox and seconded by D Grimes that this application be objected to as follows
The Town Council would reiterate comments made on previous applications for this site in that they feel that two houses and one existing bungalow on this site represent overdevelopment and would have a detrimental affect on the visual aspect of the approach to the Town. There is also the additional and very important problem of the dangerous access on to the busy main road.
