The Richborough Planning Proposal Consultation ends on 8th March (https://www.landwestofwarton.co.uk/).
Immediate Action if you are able: Respond to the Developer’s Consultation
The purpose of their consultation is often a “box ticking” exercise required before a formal planning application is submitted.
Suggested response:
Object briefly they do not need detail or well thought through arguments, they will use those to amend their plans and submit anyway.
Simply state:
The proposal is outside Warton’s development boundary and conflicts with the proposed Neighbourhood Plan.
Existing houses are not being sold demonstrating a lack of need in the area.
A lack of infrastructure in the area, doctors, schools, transport links.
Avoid detail: Keep the objection concise, save in-depth arguments for the formal planning application stage.
More details on what we can do once a planning application is submitted will be available at the Residents Meeting on 6th March at Warton Club. In the meantime a crib sheet of what we can do now, and how to object can be found below.
