Whilst we gleefully reported that the contentious application in Carleton had been withdrawn,
only a few days later it came back in a different form!
Grundy Farm - a greenfield site in near to the brownfield site owned by the developer is back on the agenda.
Application 2018/19559/FUL
This time for 6 executive homes (where are all these homeless executives needing new homes?)
However the number be it 6 or 21 is irrelevant. The applicant owns a brownfield site nearby and brownfield should be used first - particularly when the application site in in a conservation area and the application requires the demolition of a listed wall.
We've said it before and we'll say it again and again and again - we need affordable homes not executive homes and we need to develop brownfield land first and look after green fields especially in or around conservation areas.
