Grainger has submitted their planning application for 170 houses on the Green Gap. The target decision date is 30th of December. It will be Happy New Year indeed when we stop Grainger in their tracks.

There is a lorry load of paper work on the SODC website. 

At Campaign HQ we are pawing through them in detail. We are honing our objection, focussing on how grossly inappropriate this development is.

Over the next days and weeks we will help you all construct your letters of objection; we will host more Open Meetings; and we talk to our planners and council members to explain why the community will not let this development happen.

The above pie chart is from Grainger’s so called “Statement of Community Involvement”. It shows how strongly the community feels. And it shows how your individual input is vital.

We now have a chance to again have our say. Stand ready. And remember if we say nothing they will take it as a yes.
