PLANNING APPLICATIONS FROM ALL DIRECTIONS

No sooner have Bloor Homes submitted an application for up to 300 homes in the greenfields at the northern end of Morton Way (click on l.h. blog button for more details of the application, or take a direct look at the application made to SGC online PT12/2395/O)...

now Barratts have  re-submitted their application for 500 houses on the heritage fields surrounding the medieval fishponds at Park Farm PT12/2659/O. This may seem confusing to you, as it does to me, because they have already submitted this application once. You may have already objected using the original reference:PT11/1442/O.
There is a legal explanation for this duplicate application, but it currently eludes me! Our understanding from Sarah Tucker the case officer at SGC is that if you have already represented to the original Park Farm application, your objections remain valid for the second application. You may choose to re-submit them with the new reference number for forms sake, but she assures us that the content from both sets of representations will be considered together when finally the case is heard, because it is THE SAME APPLICATION.
With both the Bloor and Barratt applications, although there is an official deadline for responses to be submitted, you can continue to submit your representations, and they will still be received and considered up until the point at which SGC sits to consider the planning applications in question.
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will know that STGH opposes both planning applications.
You can read our objections by clicking on the links below.

• STGH OBJECTION TO BARRATTS HOUSING APPLICATION FOR PARK FARM.

• STGH OBJECTION TO BLOOR HOUSING APPLICATION FOR MORTON WAY NORTH.

We would urge you if you have not already, to consider objecting to both of these applications. Try not to be too subjective in your reasoning - you need to be articulating PLANNING objections.
Objections can be emailed f.a.o. Sarah Tucker at planningapps@southglos.gov.uk
Be sure to quote the planning application reference number of your objection. Also, ask for confirmation of receipt. It should eventually appear under the SGC reference list of documents relating to the planning application - if it does not, make sure you follow up with an enquiry.
