BIRCHANGER RESIDENTS PETITION

Following the Inspector's decision of 9 October 2021 to grant planning permission for the Travellers to remain on the Green Belt site on Birchanger Lane, we, the undersigned, call upon Uttlesford District Council ("UDC") to do the following:

1. To lodge an appeal with the High Court under s.288 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 to seek a judicial review of the decision to grant permanentpermission, noting that this does not allow for anychange in circumstances;
 
2. Notwithstanding the above, UDC should provide a clear written assurance to Birchanger Parish Council, that compliance with the conditions attached to the said permission will be closely monitored, and UDC will not hesitate to take effective enforcement action in the event of any non-compliance;  and

3. UDC should also provide written confirmation to Birchanger Parish Council that great importance is attached to protecting the Green Belt around Birchanger and UDC will do all in its power to keep this land permanently open so as to protect the separate identity of Birchanger and prevent any coalescence with Bishop's Stortford to the south or with Stansted Mountfitchet to the north.
