The Whitewater Valley Conservation Society has submitted the attached report to the Planning Enforcement Team at Hart into concerns about the breaches of conditions relating to the above.
In addition, we would like to express our concern that Hart District Council has not responded to a letter sent to the planning team, in February, by the landowners most effected, at Borough Court (Mr and Mrs Michael Bullen). The landowners are deeply distressed by what they are now having to live next to and the fact that the meagre mitigation that was a condition of planning is essentially non-existent and what is there is being allowed to fail. We found their letter attached to the planning documents.
The planning committee was quite clear that this site would provide an enhancement to the River Whitewater and the valley. Nothing could be further from the truth – the place has turned from a pretty, natural area with perfectly serviceable agricultural land with corridors for both wildlife and people, into a desert for flora, fauna and wildlife and visually has been described in terms that are more reminiscent of WWII.
We look forward to receiving Hart’s response.
