There is to be a Public Inquiry at the Council house on 25th February where the developers, Opecprime Development will attempt to gain planning permission for an intensive development of the Carriageworks/ Westmoreland House. It seems local opposition to these plans is fairly universal.

Recently, Opecprime Developments submitted  revised plans. These plans may be viewed here: http://prsc.org.uk/images/pdfs
