    A planning application for five self-build homes on green fields in Oakham has been refused for the second time in three months. Last week (June 17) a planning officer from Rutland County Council denied the application by Exeter Court 1 Ltd for the self build plots on land to the south of Braunston Road and close to Noel Avenue. The plans were refused in April due to officers considering the proposal of two storey homes would have a detrimental effect on the nearby bungalows in Noel Avenue.

By way of explanation – and for those who have followed me for some time – some personal news. As of March 14th, I officially began the retirement that #Newsquest prematurely advanced nearly 3 years ago with its restructuring in Cambridgeshire but decided the time was not right https://t.co/BMNcwy8G7j
