Spooner Row Message Board

Yes, I've just come across it too! - if any of you want to see it I have made a reduced URL for you to access it http://internetbusinessinfo.co.uk/SNC_planning.htm ---- The original URL reads: ================================================= http://planning.south-norfolk.gov.uk/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/Generic/StdDetails.aspx?PT=Planning Applications On-Line&TYPE=PL/PlanningPK.xml&PARAM0=763505&XSLT=/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/SiteFiles/Skins/SouthNorfolk/xslt/PL/PLDetails.xslt&FT=Planning Application Details&PUBLIC=Y&XMLSIDE=/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/SiteFiles/Skins/SouthNorfolk/Menus/PL.xml&DAURI=PLANNING ==================================================== This will give you an idea of how "deep" this is buried on their site!! - I wonder WHY they would want to do this????? (as if we didn't know!) The council's slimy "Back Door" tactics stink!!! Incidentally - if you do a search for new planning applications in the last week, this application is NOT shown!! - yet it was only registered 3 DAYS AGO on the 11th June 2012 - they really did not want us to find this -- Now -- if you call up the easy short link I created for you at http://internetbusinessinfo.co.uk/SNC_planning.htm you will see on the second line down of the SNC Application Progress Summary the words "Comments Welcome Until" and the date 04-07-2012 - (they obviously want to shoot this through quickly without opposition taking into account the short time scale for comments) - but you can leave your comment by clicking on the link beside the date - and I really hope you will all do this! Remember, PEOPLE POWER WON the last round - let's go all out to WIN THIS ROUND TOO!

The new people at Chepore can't just start developing the site without planning permission unless they are going to apply for it retrospectively. The Government's new planning policy says that council's should consult with local communities ensuring fairness in the planning process. So if the council want to be fair then they must consult with us.  This is the information page on the Government's website for the new guidance on traveller sites:

There is no way that south norfolk will ever treat the locals fairly with this issue. They have tried every trick in the book to get this on there as we all knew they would. I hope they are following government guidelines on this, especially if they are going to ignore their own consultations a few years ago now. They gave retrospective planning permission only on the health grounds of the previous owner and assured worried locals this was for just one pitch. Now agricultural land is having groundworks on it..so confident are the new owners that the council will just smile, sit back and do nothing about it. I live right next to this, but didn't know anything about it..if you search on the councils planning site, you can't find it listed. A scandal on every level.

The planning dept are on record on this message board stating that Suton is a rural community and that no housing development will happen. well why can a permenant caravan park even be considered? You can see that 150+ people have looked at this message bord, but I suspect like me all will be too scared to object giving their name, address and email as the council stipulate. Thats how the council get their way in the end and get to sideline the local community and their needs and quality of life. I've lived here all my life and this has gone on for years. Carleton rode happened this way too with just one man needing one pitch. Same expansion happened with the planners blessing and probably tax payers money. You can get a lot of caravans on an adjacent field for horses. Acres of adjacent land  right up to our houses. Just watch while the council go along with this. After all they have promised to evict this illegal site three times over the years and failed tried to stop its furter development and failed. They also failed to get it through the public enquiry. Watch their next move.I know who my money is on.
