She recapped on the previous situation in August where correspondence from Aster Housing had been received blaming residents for the issues and stating that a planning application could not be submitted due to the Covid-19 crisis and it was unlikely that an application would be submitted this year. Cllr C Parkes updated the committee on recent discussions with Aster, who were now considering a proposal that would not need planning permission.
