SITE REFERENCE 10131 HOME FARM, SANDHILLS, BROWNHILLS WS9 9DJ
WIKIPEDIA DEFINES BROWNHILLS AS A FORMER MINING TOWN UNTIL CLOSURE IN THE 1950s THE LOCAL AUTHORITY INSTITUTED A REGENERATION PROGRAMME IN 2007, WHICH WAS HOPED WOULD REVIVE THE TOWNS FORTUNE ,BUT THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT.
WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT, BUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD 1260 HOUSES AND
COLLECTING THE RATES ON THEM ALL IS GETTING THE GREEN LIGHT, ALL THE CORRECT
ARGUMENTS ARE IN PLACE, LITTLE CHANCE OF FLOODING, THE LANDS NOT THAT
GOOD FOR AGRICULTURE , WE NEED HOUSES , VERY LITTLE THINGS OF INTEREST LIVE THERE ,BATS FOXS,AND THE NEVER SEEN WOMBLE, TRAFFICS NOT A PROBLEM AS WEVE USED OUTDATED STATISTICS, THERES MAYBE A PRIMARY SCHOOL ,BUT ONLY IF REQUIRED ,AND IT CAN BE DEVELOPED VERY QUICKLY WITH NO FUSS.
THIS LAND WAS ORIGANLLY EARMARKED FOR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH
AN ADHOC PLANNING APPLICATION IN 1994, BUT ALL WENT VERY QUIET UNTIL I HERE FROM A NEIGHBOUR VIA A PERSONALLY PREPARED LETTER, NOTHING FROM THE COUNCIL, NOTHING FROM THE PROPOSER, SO MUCH FOR THE CLOSE COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY AS PRESENTED IN THER INDICATIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN , PAGES AND PAGES OF SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, AND PROMISING DELIVERY.
PERFECT SITE FOR GROWING VEG, WHICH IVE SEEN OVER THE YEARS, POTATOES AT THE MOMENT. BUT AT ONLY 85.05 HECTARES, OR IS IT 55.03 IVE SEEN TWO DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS, AND ONLY BEING LESS THAN 10% OF THE CURRENT 2000 ACRE (809 HECTARES) ITS NOT AN ISSUE IF ITS LOST, MY GRANDPARENTS HAD A FARM OF 100 ACRES, AND THEY MADE A LIVING FROM SHEEP AND CATTLE, SO 210 ACRES WOULD DO VERY NICELY THANK YOU , ITS ONLY A SMALL PROPORTION -BECAUSE TH EVE GOT A
LOT !
THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS FOR 1260 DWELLINGS ,BY POSSIBLY THREE
DEVELOPERS -NOT FORGETTING THAT PEGASUS GROUP , WHO OWNS GALLAGHER ESTATES, OR IS IT L & Q GROUP ARE NOT HOUSE BUILDERS BUT MASTER DEVELOPER, SO THERES THREE , OR IS IT FOUR COMPANYS EXPECTING A GOOD
RETURN ON THERE INVESTMENT. NO PROBLEM -BUT HOW ABOUT PROVIDING SOME ongoing employment opportunities some light industrial units
