Horndean Parish Council consider all planning applications and give a view to EHDC for them to consider when weighing up a planning application. The Parish Council will be considering two large local applications at the next meeting on Monday 1st September, and for those who are interested in the application, this is, of course, a key part of the process.
One of these applications is White Dirt Farm, and you may recall that Horndean Parish Council were not invited to give views on the community facilities that are required, and their members received their invitations to the consultation the day after it took place.
Cllr Elaine Tickell who represents Catherington Lovedean at the Parish Councillor has prepared two excellent reports on these two key applications and as well as the meeting agenda I am enclosing the reports here so you can download and view.

White Dirt Lane Report By Cllr Tickell

This says it all in relation to White Dirt Farm and I would support every word of it!
Excellent reports from Elaine, as usual. I hope people will use her report on WDF to help them record their views on the EHDC planning portal. Well done, Elaine! And thank you, Guy, for circulating!
Yet another totally inappropriate application. Greenfield sites are so much easier for the developer! How can this be considered a suitable site? NO infrastructure, miles to drive to any amenities. What are the developers thinking of except their own pockets? We will have no green belt left between us and Clanfield and a dramatic increase in traffic on unsuitable roads., leading to more accidents.
I heartily agree with this objector. My overiding concern is the shear volume of extra traffic that the proposed developments would result in on Lovedean lane in particular would be highly dangerous and totally unsuitable for this rural lane. The infrastructure is already seriously lacking and persistent flooding has not been addressed.
