A visit was made to the HVPC Planning Committee meeting on 27th June 2016. Although the planning application has not yet appeared on the Kirklees website, we want to keep the councillors aware of our plight. We delivered short representations about the likely impact on our village – an unsustainable increase in size if this development is allowed to proceed.

Verbal and visual representations (satellite views with developments superimposed) were made and were duly received by the councillors. Digital copies were subsequently distributed to councillors.

A report was made to the committee by Tim Walshaw about the public meeting that had taken place; again this was received with interest by the councillors.

Whatever happens with the formal planning application, the intention is to keep the councillors in the loop and keep a dialogue going.
