Slaughterhouse Development, Babergh Planning Committee Site Visit

Babergh Planning Committee Members,
visits the site on 23rd May 2018


On their arrival Peter Beer, the Planning Committee Chairman talked to the assembled parishioners and explained they could not entertain any questions, but we would be kept informed throughout what parts of the site they were to visit.

The committee members entered the site to see for themselves the objections that had been raised over the height of the properties
They visited the close proximity of Byron House to Plots 1 & 2 of the Development
They also visited the garden of the White House, to see how the new property at its rear dominated the skyline.


At the end of their inspection, the Chairman spent considerable time talking to the residents reassuring them that all their letters of objections had been read and noted
Because of the discrepancy of the height of the properties by three different Surveyors, the Chairman would arrange for Babergh to carry out a height survey by there own nominated Surveyors. This would be the height the Committee would be taken as fact
No date yet been fixed for the Planning Meeting at Babergh, but we would be notified by the Clerk of the Parish Council when this was to take place.
All residents were welcome to attend.

The meeting between the parishioners and the committee were very amicable and they all parted
in the knowledge that our concerns had been thoroughly investigated.

In total the site meeting lasted one hour.
