Mr Raham Malook, of Wye Cliff Road, told the committee: "There is a mosque, a Vietnamese centre, a missionary convent, two care homes and a church.

He also argued that the new homes are out of place in a mature Victorian suburb which is on the way to becoming a conservation area. Transport officer Paul Cowen told the committee that the additional cars of new residents would be no more than if the offices were reopened and therefore there was no additional impact on the traffic problems in the area. The committee decided to insist on a further three parking spaces being provided and approved the plan.
