Dear Everyone
What an amazing turn out today!
Andy, John, Tricia, Julian and Mary all did the village proud. I am quite sure that the Inspector was in no doubt as to the depth and range of feeling towards this proposal. The importance of both the Neighbourhood Plan and the unique rural setting of these fields was made quite clear by both Arun's Planning consultant and the English Heritage representative. It was also good to hear the Inspector confirm that he has observed the traffic outside the school in the morning, as requested.
Tomorrow will be Mr Collin's turn to be scrutinised which will be interesting and give a good indication as to the strength of Langmead's challenge. After Mr Collin's cross examination I believe that the Inspector will conduct his site visit. He will be taken to Long Lane, just north of the A27 to see the view of the church from the South Downs and then to the site itself. I believe Andy and Tricia will be part of the party. Should you want to be present I'm not quite sure how the Inspector wants to conduct the visit so please do ask tomorrow morning.
Those with the will power please keep attending it really does help and is being commented on as a positive force, thank you.
Friday morning will be the summing up of both sides, again an important moment to get a feel of the general mood. Then it will be a bit of a wait until a decision is made.
See you tomorrow at 9.30am for the next instalment.
Vicky
