At the Elmbridge Borough Council’s planning sub committee meeting on Sept 6th the above proposal was rejected for the second time.  We have now been advised that an appeal has been made to the Planning Inspectorate.

A public enquiry is likely to be in January but in the meantime residents who want to make further comments or modify earlier comments can do so by NOVEMBER 2nd 2010 to the Planning Inspectorate in Bristol.

The proposals will be discussed further at our AGM on Nov 25th.
