Cllr. Jones abstained from voting on planning applications to avoid any conflict of interests due to duties within Stafford Borough Council.

23/37594/FUL – Amended application – Planning application for the demolition of existing dilapidated buildings and the erection of a single dwelling. 35A High Street Eccleshall.

It was resolved to continue to object to this application on the same grounds that the car parking allocation has been removed, which is considered essential in the centre of Eccleshall where there is a shortage of parking.
