1 Response to Planning Inquiry The Inquiry into the Stag Brewery Planning Applications starts a fortnight tomorrow. In spite of its importance to the local environment and community, there has to date been a lack of public information. (Save for www.mbcg.org.uk) I plan to post a guide to it tomorrow.
It is also a huge pity that any mention of the Stag Brewery Planning applications dropped off our local MPs newsletters a long time ago. The planned development, ignoring nearly all local comments and objections, remains the most potentially damaging thing that might happen to our community for 100 years. There are better proposals which the developers refuse to consider. The way they have ignored the real need for affordable housing as well is a disgrace. There are hugely better options for the use of this land to benefit the community that our MP should be representing. Let us hope this inquiry exposes how damaging this development will be. It is dense, exacerbating an appalling traffic problem, with accompanying loss of air quality, and a permanent loss of heritage along this stretch of Arcadian Thames. Time for rethink in which the community has a real voice. These are always the best developments.
