The resounding feeling of those who attended the drop-in session was that it was poor and lacking in information. Officers were not up to date with the real issues we see on the ground. This is a significant weakness of the proposal, and we need to take advantage of this.
| | | So, where now, you may ask?
| | | The public consultation closes on 23 January, so there are only 15 days remaining. We need many more responses. At present, only 6% of the village has responded. This process is purely a numbers game — the higher the number of responses, the more likely we are to be noticed.
| | | Please follow the link below to submit a response:
| | | | | | A toolkit has been provided by the Parish Council. You will need to register your email address on the B&D portal, after which you can submit an objection. The specific site reference is:
| | | SPS5.15 – Land at West End Farm.
| | | Please use the topics outlined in the toolkit, along with any others you feel strongly about. However, it is important not to simply state “I don’t want it” — objections must be planning-based. The toolkit sets out the relevant planning considerations.
| | | If you need any help with this process, please email the.clerk@stratfield-mortimer.gov.uk, and we can provide one-to-one assistance with completing a submission. If you are having difficulty using the online portal, you are welcome to visit the Parish Office, located behind the library. The office is open from 9:30am to 5:00pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Objection forms are available at the office, are straightforward to complete, and staff can post them on your behalf to Basingstoke and Deane.
| | | If you have neighbours or friends who may benefit from this support, please do inform them.
| | | Please remember that each individual in a household is entitled to submit a separate response.
| | | Warm regards,
| | | Councillor David Kilshaw
