A CONTROVERSIAL planning application which sparked off political rows and two resignations is up for debate again on Monday.

Two planning meetings were held in December to discuss a planned nursery in Rectory Way, Ickenham, which the applicant says is needed to meet child care demand in the area.

Opponents to the plans include the Ickenham Residents Association who claim the change of use from a residential property into a business encroaches into the Ickenham Conservation Area, and fear it would set a dangerous precedent.

The last meeting in December was expected to set a raft of conditions on the nursery after it was originally approved, but it was unexpectedly refused permission by councillors.

A meeting will take place in front of a temporary North Planning Committee on Monday at the Civic Centre at 9pm, where it is the only matter on the agenda for discussion.
