Planning Application W/11/1533
Development of 58 Houses and Public Park

BRA booked the Memorial Hall on 8th February to give information from both sides on this Planning Application. Many people came in the afternoon and even more in the evening to a forum discussing this issue. Alan Rhead gave a short explanation of the planning process and then an open forum was held so all views were heard.

BRA also circulated a simple voting form to the 600 houses in Barford so that the wishes of the village on this issue could be ascertained and expressed. Unfortunately cost and time constraints made it impossible to circulate one copy to all residents

The results of the survey were :-
Broadly IN FAVOUR of the planning application 27
UNDECIDED whether to support or oppose 3
Broadly AGAINST the planning application 103
Spoilt returns 2

BRA submitted a letter to WDC on 13th February advising them of the results of this survey indicating that the majority of the village were opposed to this development.

This Planning Application is expected to be closely followed by another for the land between the village and the by-pass.

When details of this are available, BRA will be publicising these and again the opinion of the village ascertained.

AGM – 2nd May – Come along to support the committee who are working for your village.
