Claremont Court
We have been told by MHCLG that our application in respect of Claremont has been rejected on height grounds. We disagree with their position and have appealed the decision on the basis of the independent surveyors’ measurement of the building. We now expect to receive a decision in early May. We will update you as the appeal progresses.
