Hi Everyone,
A Planning Application (Ref: 22/03092/FP), has been submitted to build 47 houses on the meadow at the top of Grays Lane, Hitchin. This is one of the meadows we are trying to save with this Petition, Site HT6 on the Local Plan and is a re-submission of an Application made last year for 58 houses.
The Application is to build a new road and junction on the existing bridle way destroying trees and hedges and also enabling another development in the field opposite for 9 expensive houses! This will cause a major safety issue for the many people that use the bridle way. Bats, badgers, deer, foxes and numerous birds live in and around here and the wild meadow contains a wonderful oak tree. The damage to the local environment, wildlife habitat, biodiversity and ecological balance will be immense!
We urgently need objections lodged with the council against this Planning Application as the deadline for submission is January 12th, 2023. Yes, very good timing by the developer to coincide with Christmas! All objections should include your name (address preferred but optional) and quote “Planning Ref: 22/03092/FP - Objection”.
