You're joking - not another one!: Re-consultation for "The Batch" begins

Land South of Hencliffe Way, Hanham known locally as "The Batch"

The famous words of "Brenda from Bristol" could not be more appropriate for what has just happened. With impeccable timing, last Friday 16th February, the very day that SGC's Phase 3 Local Plan Public Consultation came to a close, the Principal Planning Officer launched a Re-consultation for "The Batch" also known as Land South Of Hencliffe Way And East Of Castle Farm Road Hanham or P23/01330/O.

The applicant team (developers) had provided the Planning Officer with an updated application pack which contained "additional information" significant enough to trigger a 3-week Re-consultation which will run until 8th March 2024. No action could be taken by the Planning Officer until after the by-election, hence the timing of the launch.

Although the developers' revised plans are not radically different from their original plans, considering they had months to prepare them, we must now ask for your help once again to show SGC and the developers that opposition to their plans to develop "The Batch" is stronger than ever.

We understand that "Objection Fatigue" may be setting in, but if you can spare a little time to object to the revised plans we would very much appreciate it.

If you've objected before and can spare 10 minutes

Please copy and paste your original objection as most, if not all of your original points will still apply and your previous objection may not automatically be considered unless resubmitted now.
