WANBOROUGH NEWS
Great news from the fields to start 2021.
Two Appeals have now been refused by the Planning Inspectorate.
Firstly, the appeal by the owner of the plot with the gate and the fencing in the southern AONB field. As there is an Enforcement Notice on the plot, the owner has had to start taking down the gate and the fencing and has until the end of February to complete the job.
Secondly, the Appeal by the owner of the plot at the entrance to the lower AGLV field with the entrance in Westwood Lane. Although the GBC Officers initially approved the application for a Barn, polytunnels and hard standing, because there were over 20 objections (for which many thanks!), it had to go to the Planning Committee and the Councillors rejected it. Just goes to show the value of writing in numbers to object to applications.
Hopefully, these two refusals will act as important precedents that GBC can use for other proposed developments including the application for a Barn and Polytunnel to grow salad and vegetables in the AONB field leading up to the Hog's Back. The Parish Council has objected to this - as have some 20 residents - so if, for whatever reason, GBC Planning approve the application, we have the opportunity to persuade the Councillors to reject it.
An Enforcement Notice and Stop Notice have been served on the people who've built the fencing and hard-standing on Plot A1 of the lower AGLV field, and brought in 2 shipping containers, pipes and storage drums. Needless to say, they have put in an Appeal against these notices.
See Wanborough Fields page.
There are recent articles in the Guildford Dragon and Get Surrey and this is what GBC have to say about it.
