Good news the secretary of state has insisted that the Hallam Land application for 1560 houses between Watermead and Bierton should pass through the AVDC planning ststem, and not go directly to appeal. I hope that AVDC development control committee will reject the application.
Pity they didn't do that with the East of Aylesbury applicaion that was approved and will soon destroy the integretity of Bierton!
It remains likely however, that Hallam will take the District Council rejection to appeal, and this is were the real fight will start. The local campaign, which is being well organised by Watermead Parish Council, will need active support from the elected District Councillor and the new County Councillor to be elected on 2nd May.
Whether or not elected to the County Council I will fight this application at District level. If elected to the County I will be able to effectively take on the highways aspects which will be critical to Watermead, all routes in and out of north Aylesbury and the growth of rat-runs in the nearby rural villages.
Stopping this opportunistic development and those at Fleet Marston and Hampden Fields will be critical to the future of Aylesbury Town and the whole area.
Any comments on this subject would be welcome.
