Back in May of this year the Council’s Planning Committee met to consider  the Brickworks  operators applications to extend for two years the screening and crushing operation, whilst at the same time delaying site restoration until 2011.   We were all delighted that both applications were REFUSED.   As expected the site operator has now, at the last minute submitted an appeal to the Governments Planning Inspectorate which asks that the Inspectorate reverses the Councils decision to refuse both of the applications. 

The Planning Inspectorate, Room 3/18A, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN.  All letters of objection and any petitions need to be submitted by 15 December, 2008.

If you are opposed to this appeal being granted it is important that you let the planning inspector know.    If you wish to object by letter please send it in triplicate to the address below ensuring that you quote reference numbers: APP/W4325/A/08/2088849/NWF and APP/W4325/A/08/2088852.   

Over the next week or so we will also be knocking door to door collecting signatures on a petition, if you are out when we call we will leave a card for you to return to us so that we can add your name.   Alternatively we have left a petition in the hairdressers, ‘Deborah’s Stylehouse’ on Town Meadow Lane were you can also add your signature.
