What
you can do
The public inquiry into the rejected planning application for the QEB
site will start on 15th May 2007 and runs through to July. The
logistical details of how and where the appeal will be held have yet to
be settled. However, we reiterate that the appeal hearing will be a
long process, lasting around 7-8 weeks and that it would be of benefit
if members of the public could attend for at least a day or two – or
for a few hours on a number of days throughout the process. It is vital
that the public demonstrate the level of concern held by the local
community over this application.
It is widely recognized that some form of development could fit
sympathetically on this site but that the proposal to build 1,132
dwellings without any substantial supporting infrastructure is wrong
and would irretrievably blight the area.
When more details of the appeal are known the QEB Campaign will
publicise what you can do to help.
