Godwin Road at a glance
The street beside its ward and the town. Each figure is from the section further down that says where it comes from.
Since December 2025: 2 planning decisions. Each dot is one of them, in the month it happened. Our planning records start in April 2026 and our council papers in September 2025, and street problems show only while they are open, so earlier months may look quieter than they really were.
Planning and building here
Closing dates you can still act on, applications and decisions on the street, appeals, the protections that cover it, and the council's land and licensing papers.
Planning on this street
Every planning application and decision we hold for Godwin Road, 2 in all (2 granted and 0 refused), newest first.
