Christmas is coming, which means another conveniently timed planning proposal! Hardly a surprise as this site was favoured in the Yapton Neighbourhood Plan to provide 20 dwellings on Land North of Yapton C of E Primary School. But there's a twist, this application proposes 40 properties with a garage(s) and/or parking space(s). Double those in Neighbourhood Plan!

Documents and Objections etc to here.

Happy Christmas!

Ford incinerator plan stalls

A bit of good news for residents of Ford, Climping and Yapton - plans for the incinerator plant in Ford have stalled after a top Government minister Kris Hopkins questions the decision by West Sussex County Council. Read more here...

The Olive Branch

Not a huge surprise to see the planning application Y/79/14/PL to convert the Olive Branch into  much needed flats and to finally provide the long overdue Gospel Hall for the village. Let's hope the developer expecting a tiny congregation because there aren't many parking spaces provided. Now, I might be wrong, but would such a building need to provide accessible toilet facilities too? I can't see them on the plan?

Oh well - more letter writing...

Who are the Men in Black?

Back in January 2011 these two characters were spotted photographing the houses on the Goodhew, Downview, and Fordwater estates. They might have been working on behalf of Planning Potential, who were proposing the Gleeson development.

Well, the chap on the left was spotted in the Village again last Saturday photographing Church Lane, Stakers Farm and The Olive Branch.

Possibly another controversial planning application is looming?

Hopefully the residents of Yapton will be as vocal about this as they were about the Langmead proposal.

Exciting new development... Really?

According to the hype - Emerald Gardens is an exciting new development of 2, 3 & 4 bedroom homes for sale in Yapton. Not if you're one of the residents who have had to put up with the constant  noise and mess over the last 6 months.

Anyway the blurb goes on to say - this Saturday, Charles Church will be opening this wonderful 'unwanted' development and you are invited!

Time to pay them a visit and tell them how you really feel about this development.

Emerald Gardens opens this Saturday 26th April from 10.00am.
