• ACT NOW TO OBJECT TO PLANNING APPLICATION (K/25/16/PL) ON WEST KINGSTON BEACH!
    The application goes against numerous policies in the Arun Local Plan. The site is outside the built up area, where the only development that might be approved would be sea defences. A planning application for a shelter for one boat was rejected in 2015 and the refusal was upheld on appeal, because the small shelter, less than one metre high, was considered to harm the open character of the beach and was therefore contrary to policy GEN7 of the Local Plan. An enclosure 2.85 metres high to accommodate 60 boats, which includes a building 13.6 metres long, must also be contrary to planning policy. There are also practical problems about the site: the roads approaching it are private, and the owners have said that they will note provide the Open Dinghy Club with the right to use them. There is a section of car park between the road west of the site, South Strand, which is attached to the house south of it, and its owner, Caroline Bond, has said she will not allow the club to cross her land. So the site can only be reached on foot or from the sea, and construction of the enclosure and building seems impossible. Please let Arun District Council know your thoughts, today.

  • Save Houghton Field of Dreams
    The area in question is the land to the North of Blind Lane in Houghton and has been green, open space for over 40 years and is used by the local community for recreational purposes. Due to several new build developments locally, this is now the only area of green , open space in the locality and is vital for the local community. In 2012, Sunderland City Council carried out a Green space Audit in the area and it was found to be the largest and highest quality green space in the area. It was also identified as serving three purposes; an outdoor sports facility, an amenity green space and as forming part of a green corridor in the area.

  • Stop the Destruction Of British Archaeology.
    Britain has some of the most amazing and diverse archaeological remains in the world, however the new Neighbourhood Planning and Infrastructure Bill announced in May 2016 puts all of this at risk, leading to the destruction of our past for good. The current Requirements that force developers to carry out archaeological and wildlife surveys before starting housing projects may be abolished in the new Neighbourhood Planning and Infrastructure Bill. This will destroy archaeological sites and risk the industry that conducts surveys, excavation and preservation of our vital past. “pre-commencement planning conditions are only imposed by local planning authorities where they are absolutely necessary”

  • Bradfield wants a Village Hall referendum NOW!
    Trustees are required by law to act prudently at all times in the best interests of the charity and its beneficiaries and be personally accountable for the proper management of the charity and its assets. Over 70% of the village have supported the Parish Council objecting to the current plans and we believe that the Trustees should seek a clear mandate before proceeding any further.

  • Amend the Harrison Gibson development proposal in Ilford High Road
    The excessive height and bulk of the 30 and 16 storey towers will have a severely detrimental effect on the amenity of the area in terms of overshadowing, lack of privacy, wind tunnelling effects, skyline. Part of the access to the proposed building would be from Havelock Street. The whole of this street and adjacent areas would need significant improvement before people would even consider using this street on a daily basis. A very localized improvement to the street, near the entrance to the building would not nearly be enough. 32 car parking spaces for a development of this size is woefully inadequate. This is not central London and you cannot prevent people from owning cars. If people own cars, they will find somewhere else to park, often leading to conflict with others. There are concerns regarding how much of the housing will be affordable. If there is some affordable housing, the question remains will it be separated from the market-rate housing. There are different open areas proposed in the development, so other questions are: how will these areas be controlled and maintained and will all residents, including those in affordable housing be able to use them?

  • Access for the 88 dwellings not to be through Sandringham Gardens
    Will seriously increase the traffic and road use of Sandringham Gardens and I believe this will have huge implications on Health and Safety for the residents of Sandringham Gardens. I believe Pearce Homes have a duty of care to reconsider moving the access from Sandringham Gardens, and moving the access. This is due to the amount of children that use the Park, which is located on the main through road. This will cause massive health and safety issues for any users of the park. The road that would go through from Sandringham Gardens is too narrow to cope with potentially 176+ extra cars that would use this access (considering most households have 2 cars).

  • Save our Greenbelt Stop Europark
    We oppose ANY building on this greenbelt land. We are trying to save our GREENBELT from an extensive plan to build 3000 LUXURY houses, shopping centre, cinema, office units and commercial units. The area in question is an area of immense beauty and has been untouched for generations - wildlife and countless plants, animals and insects live here, as well as providing peace and serenity for hundreds of local people. 3000 New luxury Home will decimate this land, cause extreme traffic problems and pollute the environment.The air around this area is already above the accepted level of pollution We would ask our representatives to contact the developer and urge them to focus on investing in developing the brown field sites and land designated for building in Airdrie This Proposed development will affect everyone, especially if you live in Carnbroe, Sikeside, Cairnhill, Brownsburn, Gartlea, Calderbank ,Chapelhall and Holytown Please visit or join our group on Facebook stop the europark development

  • Save Ilford South (post-codes IG1, IG2 & IG3) from Over-Development
    Major housing developments in Ilford South are being advanced by the Council at an alarming rate. In the Draft Redbridge Local Plan 2015-2030 it is proposed that 10,000 units of housing will be built in Ilford South in the next 15 years. This is about 74% of the total housing proposed for Redbridge. This is a heavy burden for the south of the borough and a bias in allocation. Ilford is at a critical point in its history where the pressure on the council to meet housing targets is driving ill-conceived and insensitive high-density developments. There are grave concerns about this due to the following: There will be a huge increase in population in the already most densely populated part of the borough. There are already pressures on public services such as education and health facilities; transport and parking and this will add to the pressures. There will be the negative effects of multiple high rise buildings in terms of overshadowing, invasion of privacy, wind tunnelling etc The high-rise buildings and the residential mix proposed are not suitable for the specific housing needs of the local area and we fear the definition of 'affordable' will simply not be realistic. As part of this plan, the development of the Harrison Gibson building in Ilford High Road is currently being consulted on. This proposal includes a high-rise of 30 storeys, the same as Pioneer Point. Please look at our sister petition regarding this. Read more in the Ilford Recorder http://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/politics/residents_fears_over_development_in_south_of_redbridge_1_4600711

  • Stop slum bedsits in Hackney.
    More & more family homes are being turned into multiple occupancy housing, squeezing up to 10 small bedsits into one terrace house. Conditions are poor to dangerous for the tenants, extra stress is put on the local community & services. Council resources are drained as some landlords are claiming around £1200 pm per bedsit, meaning that more than double the number of people could be housed decently if the coucil stopped dealing with such landlords. People deserve safe, secure, affordable council housing. The following should help give an example of how this affects both tenants & neighbours. An existing development has already caused problems such as raw sewage backing up into our property, rats, mice, anti-social behaviour, noise, rubbish spilling out into street etc. Tenants I have spoken with live in cramped, damp, unhealthy conditions and are somewhat reluctant to speak out against the landlords. In our direct dealings with the landlord, he has not taken remedial action without council involvement and has been agressive at times. At least 2 further developments are underway within doors of each other, with the developers exploiting loopholes in planning to increase the number of available bedsits. Everyone suffers - except the slum landlord.

    A young 18 year old was murdered on Thursday, on this street at 4. pm. This young man was a keen footballer. Kitandwe, who played football for Colliers Wood, had been on trials with the Uganda under-17s team. He studied at South Thames College and previously attended nearby St John Bosco College. His friends described him as "lovely, caring and funny" and said the attack happened as he was returning from college.

  • Stop the demolition of Soho – Save a key West End landmark!
    Westminster City Council has approved plans to demolish several key historic buildings in the Soho Conservation Area, and replace them with an oversized, bland and bulky office led development. SAVE is asking the Secretary of State and his planning minister to call the application in for a full public inquiry to ensure this important site and the wider character of Soho is not eroded. Soho is one of London’s most distinctive, historic areas – its diverse history and charm told through its buildings, streets and open spaces. The old Foyles building on Charing Cross Road is a landmark - strongly associated with all that makes Soho special, and is noted in the Conservation Area as a building of merit. The proposed development is nine storeys – much higher and bulkier than its neighbours - in marked contrast to the fine grain of the surrounding streets. Conservation Area status is meant to protect sites like this from insensitive development. SAVE is alarmed that Westminster has blithely approved the demolition of the Foyles building and adjacent ‘buildings of merit’ (their words). We consider the re-development will cause substantial harm to the character of the Conservation Area. SAVE is calling on the Secretary of State to call-in this application for a public inquiry, and to stop the plans as currently proposed. This is our opportunity to ensure the unique character of Soho is protected from harmful re-development.

  • Bike Shelters for GHA Tenants
    After a few days of dragging the bike up and down 6 flights of stairs and struggling through the heavy fire doors young people begin to find cycling is not so much fun The tenants are not allowed to store anything on the landings Bikes / prams / buggies / mobility scooters are not stored. They are parked - ie they are in use and not stored anymore than cars are stored in the parking areas outside One elderly lady struggling with her walking was not allowed to park her mobility scooter inside The landings, unlike the flat hallways, are spacious with lots of nooks to park a bike or mobility scooter or pram without impeding traffic, despite what the housing officers say It is fairly certain that a bike pram or mobiility scooter is less of a fire hazard parked in a cement corridor than in a small hallway But why not build bike shelter for prams and bikes and scooters? This is Bike Week in Glasgow. Please ask GHA 08004797979 and / or the Wheatley Group who are "committed to a Greener Glasgow", how they are supporting Bike Week : Wheatley Group, Wheatley House, 25 Cochrane Street, G1 1HL or phone 0800470707 Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
