Things are certainly hotting up on the Park Farm front. Pegasus, on behalf of Barratt Homes, have put in a request for planning permission for a drainage/balancing pond to be situated OUTSIDE of the "preferred option" site. For full details of the planning application, view the South Glos website that has recently gone up.
We're not entirely sure at this stage on which basis to most effectively oppose the application. It was discussed in some detail last night at the TTC Development Committee. Despite strenuous opposition from Hudson and Davies, the mood of the committee seemed to be that because TTC support in principle the Park Farm development, it would be churlish to object to a drainage proposal that would ultimately support the housing opportunity, and they were prepared to leave it all in the hands of technically-informed developers who know about drainage matters better than them. We vigorously oppose this conclusion. You may wish to visit the www.northwestthornburytc.com website to follow last nights discussions more closely.
We will keep you posted very soon on how you personally can act to object to this planning application. Why the developpers couldn't wait until after the outcome of the Core Strategy Independent Inspection, is anybody's guess?
