Planning Appeals
Minor amendments to scheme used in Land South Appeal
The Local Authority have refused the development behind St Mary’s Church, as reported back in March 2020, however the applicants have appealed this decision and the Planning Inspector will consider the appeal at a Public Inquiry 9th – 12th February 2021.
The applicants have submitted some minor amendments to the plans and the Planning Inspector will review these when considering the application/appeal. Details of these amendments are on churchfentondevelopment.org.uk website.
What can you do?
If you have already objected to the development and, after considering the amendments, you would like to reconfirm your objection there is still time (deadline Monday 11th January). Please email the Planning Inspector & parties involved (details below) something like “notwithstanding the minor amendments, the comments I have already made in objection to this application still stand. Please consider my objection comments when deciding this appeal”.
