Whether you support Land East of Horndean, or oppose it, tonight is the night for the planning committee meeting at Barton Hall in Horndean. This is located at Horndean Technology College off Catherington Lane and all are welcome.
The meeting commences at 6pm promptly and the committee will debate the plans, review the discussions about water, gas pipes and highways access. The community facilities are also part of the discussion too.
In the meantime the Secretary of State has written to the council advising them not to grant permission without specific authorisation as he is considering whether it should be referred to him for determination.
In a letter to the council the Secretary of State said: “This direction does not, of course, prevent your Council from considering the application, forming a view as to the merits or, if they are so minded, refusing permission.”
If approved at the planning committee there is a period of 8 weeks where the Section 106 agreement is finalised and planning is not in place until this document is agreed.
In the last 6 months we have received temporary holding notices for 4 applications in EHDC – Lovedean Lane, Fourmarks, Alton and Land East of Horndean. Lovedean and Fourmarks were discharged without follow up and we will hear shortly about Alton and LEOH. Typically the Secretary of State calls in about 12 applications nationwide a year.
The meeting will take place at Barton Hall, Horndean Technology College, Barton Cross, Horndean at 6pm on Wednesday 15 April.

We would like to be there but unfortunately away for a few days as its school holiday.
Like I have been saying and repeated yesterday when I refered you and other to this on The News page 11 last night, it’s not a done deal
So it is hello Horndean New Town, goodbye Blendworth. 700 buy to let opportunities and a lot of promises.
Your right Janet that the 700 plus all the other bits that we don’t need,but B2L no so sure about, this area is not high enough on the rental yield factor. Waste of ones life tonight I thought and if that is how the Ehdc conduct themselves then I pity us all, pompous arrogant pig headed and some did not even know what was being proposed at some point, HBC well apart from one lady the rest need to wake up to their responsibility and stop playing lip service to the crowd.
Guy just had a thought why don’t you support our friend and his Horse food business etc at Hazleton Farm and suggest he moves to White Dirt Farm the road provides much better and safer access and assuming they don’t close the road off would provide all round service to the horse community etc in the area and beyond, what do you think? Just one other matter Guy, am I right and correct in thinking that Sunley will not get to build in Blendworth as you previously stated, as the area as a whole has its housing quota for the next 10/15/20 odd years? Regards Steve s
Steve, I was not aware there was free space at White Dirt Farm, are you saying there is? Im also pretty sure that Nigel Wren has looked at all of the local options, don’t forget he knows all of the local farmers very well.
