Proposed Wharf and Housing Development Meeting

An open meeting to view the plans for the proposed wharf and housing development has been arranged for
7pm on Tuesday 9^th April at St Laurence's Church Hall.

We need to form our objections, we need more that 1000 people to turn up

The Parish Council will try to formulate a plan for exactly what you can object to

So first because of the way the Planning Website is set up you cant follow my links or type their links direct into your browser easily

Start Here this will take you direct to the Planning Portal then Tick the Agree Terms Box

Then type 13/00141/OUTM in the Reference

So what can you object to?

This is tricky because it's just an Illustrative Plan looking for Planning Permission with Reserved matters

You could say you want the planning application split into 3/4 separate Applications

1. The Canal or Cut of 1000m, object Yes or No
2. The Measham Wharf Development no Housing Development, object Yes or No
3. Measham Waterside Development 450 Dwellings, Yes or No object 
4. Canal back into Measham, object Yes or No

Why would you object, what can you object against, this is where you need guidance from the NWLDC Planning Teams

You could come along to the meeting with a photo-copy of your notification of planning letter, then write your objections on it, sign it, hand it to the Parish Council

You might want some sort of committee set up to follow the money from the Developers to the NWLDC and LCC, back into Measham, given to the Schools, Medical Centre, Services and Community, asking how much and where is it going to be spent?

You could ask to see the Transparency of the money coming in from UK Coal.

You could ask about the impact on the development that comes from HS2

You could ask what is the likelihood of the Canal ever coming back to Measham, 25 years and counting so far.

You could ask to see the proposed shops plans, Measham really needs more hairdressers and cafes

More to come.
