Residents of Dollis Park stated their objections to theCouncil’s Planning Department’s recommendation for approval of a planning application for a gym to occupypart of this residential area. Residents believe theplans for a gym contravene current planningregulations and impact on residential parking as thepay and display parking bays remain empty.Cllr.
