Sandleford row erupts again following letter to Wash Common residents Options

[Andy Capp]

Isn't access one of the things covered in planning when developments are approved?

I guess, from some of the replies here that few people know that one of the developer companies is owned by Mark Norgate's mum (Delia)

So what?

[Exhausted]

So what?

Exactly, the Norgates have always been local developers and obviously when the father died, the company was continued by the family. It isn't dishonourable to earn a living even if the profits might make it a comfortable living but the reverse could be true of course.

I guess the issue may lie with the strong possibility the developer will leave a trail of destruction in warren rd (if that is an acceptable term) and move to a big house in Highclere on the profit whilst those left behind have to suffer the consequences of poor planning. As it stands the traffic backs up from the double roundabouts past Warren rd let alone when this comes on full stream.

make no mistake the planning department will fudge the traffic issue now to appease the green 'car free' brigade which will cause serious hold ups for years to come..

Decent open and honest planning would make most of these concerns go away. The battle to save Sandleford is lost lets just not throw in the towel to let them do what they want and to **** with the consequences.
