Sidford business park >> campaign group's latest update > "speaking to contacts about how best we can approach any potential appeal by the applicants"

The application to build an industrial estate on the edge of Sidford has been rejected:
Futures Forum: Sidford business park >> campaign group's latest update > District Council refuse planning application

However, the plans for an industrial estate are still on the books:
Futures Forum: Sidford business park > "The Local Plan is a deeply flawed document."

Even though there are plenty of other potential sites for industrial development in the Sid Valley:
Futures Forum: Sidford business park > Other sites are available

The campaign group opposing these plans has said it will continue to keep an eye on things:

And it might well need more funds for any future action:

Including the hiring of legal advice should the applicant appeal:

Campaign Update 20

Yet again, many thanks to the Sidmouth Herald for keeping the issue of the Business Park alive through its pages. Hopefully, you will have seen the two Campaign related stories on page 9 of this week's edition of the newspaper.

A brief reminder that our lobby of the District Council's Development Management Committee that was due to take place this morning, 30 October, to present our petition to the Committee Chair isn't taking place. You will recall that the District Council's legal people scuppered our plans to do this.

The Steering Group is in the process of speaking to contacts about how best we can approach any potential appeal by the applicants. As part of this we are also investigating which legal representative we could employ and at what cost.This all will take a little while to work through.

We will continue to keep you updated as matters progress.

Best wishes


Campaign Team
