Green Bins on Brown Street

Where do the wheelie bins go in a high density residential development? In a certain street in   Brompton, they’re left  week in week out on the footpath – there’s nowhere else to put them.
A certain street in Brompton on any weekend:wheelie bins

The Councils Development Assessment Panel  met tonight to consider this and many other problems of high density residential development in the case of 5 Brown Street Brompton -  the Associated Joiners factory site. The applicant sought permission to build five two story row dwellings, a block of three story residential flats and one two story detached house – ten units in all on a 1,448 square metre site – or less if you subtract the area set aside for a private road off Thornes Lane

A motion to refuse the application was defeated 2 votes to  4  and a motion to defer the decision until the next meeting of the panel in a fortnights time got up.
Council staff were unable to provide a zoning map of the area for the meeting when it was required. I suggest they look in the green bin.
