Protect the future of Fosters Mill, Swaffham Prior

The future of Fosters Mill, Swaffham Prior is threatened by proposals to build houses on land to the east of the mill. The land is the only land close to the mill which remains as open countryside and from this direction, the mill gets its only source of unfettered, clean wind. From all other directions, the wind is already impacted by housing development and trees. Development on site 28/07 will reduce the number of days the mill can work and risk further damage to the mill from turbulence created by houses and trees should development be permitted.

Further, the development will impact the setting of two listed windmills, Fosters Mill and the Smock Tower Windmill. Swaffham Prior is one of a handful of sites in the UK where two windmills remain proud on the skyline. By preventing development, you are helping protect this view for future generations.
