Story Homes have submitted a planning application to build 40 new homes on a site off Ryleys Lane. We oppose an ill-thought through proposal, particularly from a traffic and parking perspective.
This is the first phase of Story Homes' plan to build up to 136 new homes on this plot. Might your family, friends & neighbours be affected by increased traffic flows & congestion?
We're encouraging those who also have concerns to formally object. See below for our simple guide to submitting a planning objection.
This campaign website has been created by an informal group of local residents and staff / parents of children who attend the two schools in the immediate vicinity. You can view/download our latest leaflet via the button below.
