        High Court Judge Dismisses Antler Homes Action for 54-58 Telegraph Lane, Four Marks

On Wednesday 16th April 2008 in the High Court the presiding Judge Mr. Justice Collins dismissed Antler Homes' (and their planning consultants White Young Green) Judicial Review application. Antler's submission was that the National Planning Inspector was wrong to dismiss their appeal against EDHC's refusal to allow development. The Judge decided the Inspector was correct.

Residents said OBJECTIONS, F4FM said OBJECTIONS, FM Parish Council said OBJECTIONS, EHDC said REFUSAL, Planning Inspector said DISMISS, and finally the High Court Judge said DISMISS. Maybe that might mean NO by now then ?

Bon Vista, Roe Downs Road, Medstead

At the Public Inquiry at Alton Assembly Rooms on 12th February 2008 at 09:30 EHDC Planning and Legal Officers presented a compelling case in support of their Refusal, ably supported by residents of Roe Downs Road and F4FM representatives. Why is it that developers and their planning consultants think that their arguments are the valid ones. We await the Inspector's Report confident of him dismissing the developer's appeal.

WANTED - INTERESTED LOCAL PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE

These are our communities and our families' future, so why don't you get involved ?  Some of us have been working hard to stop in-appropriate over-development in Four Marks, Medstead & Chawton. We don't want to become small towns with a greatly increased population, but yet no facilities or infrastructure. We can only be effective in fighting in-appropriate planning applications being made in Four Marks, Medstead & Chawton by everyone working together, and using objective planning arguments - so far in support of EHDC Planning Department we have great success, including FOUR Developer Appeals dismissed by National Planning Inspectors in 2007.

F4FM objects (and will continue to object) to inappropriate & high density developments, which our village infrastructure cannot support. We do (and will) support well-designed & affordable developments that meet the needs of our community and are in line with government, regional, county, district and parish Development Plans. We support all efforts to generate local employment and economic growth for our community.
