Therefore, this is a procedurally incorrect application, as per Section 327A of The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as revised) the council refuses the submission as it fails to comply with the requirements. Details required in order for the local planning authority to accept any further submissions and to establish whether the development complies with the GPDO; - The following adjoining addresses have been missed from the application form: • 10 Kennet Close, Brownhills • 12 Kennet Close, Brownhills Walsall Council, The Civic Centre, Darwall Street, Walsall, WS1 1TP Phone: 01922 650000 You can reapply for prior approval.
