Protect the River Lambourn, one of only 4 chalk streams in the world accorded SSSI and SAC status

Approve revised plans that would see treated sewage being taken to the mains for phosphate removal rather than allowing treated sewage to leach into the river. These plans require a one off approval of one house on greenbelt to pay for additional costs.

Why is this important?

The River Lambourn is one of only 4 chalk streams in the world accorded the highest protection of SSSI and SAC status. We cannot create any more. It is far more important to protect this river than a small piece of greenbelt. Developer, local residents, experts and those supporting our environment want this to happen. There is significant justification for an exception to be made in this case to the planning guidance.
There is only one chance to protect the river.

Thanks to all those who have signed but planners need more convincing. Help us get the message across by emailing [email protected] quoting 19/02850/FULMAJ as the subject and simply saying I support this planning application.
