This is a very last minute reminder for you to submit your objection to the Glebe Land planning application ref: NE/22/00698/OUT. The developers are counting on people not bothering to object. This application is in an area not “Zoned for Development” and is completely speculative.

Just a few of the reasons why you should object:

• Visual amenity (but not loss of private views)
• Highway safety
• Traffic generation
• Noise and disturbance resulting from the use
• Effect on listed buildings and conservation area
• Layout and density of the buildings and conservation area
• Landscaping
• Road access
• Local, strategic, regional, and national policies
• Nature conservation
• Archaeology

This is very important. The decision is not a done deal.

Again, the site is not zoned for development. The developers are simply pitching a speculative plan in the hope they can get around this because no-one will bother to object. However, if we do object, then they will have to come up with a compelling case why their plan should go ahead on a site which is not in the approved Local Plan or the Joint Core Strategy for this area. To grant permission for this development would make a mockery of the democratic process that was undertaken when identifying areas for development in East Northamptonshire.

Note. At the time of writing there are approx. 130+ objections posted against the application. When we were objecting to the Castle Manor Farm application in March we got over 386. Let’s have one big final push!
