Home Farm-lite






Debate grows over Persimmon's plan for a second "Home Farm-lite" planning application that fails to tick key boxes for the controversial site - eg school playing field and access to Church Walk. The Parish Council, following its open-to-the-public meeting with Persimmon recently put out a press release. This was picked up by Beds on Sunday and you can read the full story at "Housing island fears"

Andrew Hammond of Persimmon is quoted saying "This may involve a new planning application; however it is premature and unhelpful at this stage to speculate what may or may not be included in such an application." Well, company reps went into some detail when they visited the PC in November and it was all written up and put into Cranfield Express (world exclusive).

Mr Hammond also said "Unfortunately the Parish Council has written to us refusing to have any further dialogue on the proposals". The Parish Council is happy to have Persimmon come to any public meeting to talk about their plans. The operative word is "public".
