FIGHT FOR FOUR MARKS & MEDSTEAD 

"Striving for fair and responsible planning in Four Marks and Medstead"

Four Marks & Medstead are under continual threat of housing developments of high density houses that claim to comply with current Government law for 'brownfield site' (which includes private gardens) ! 
Do you want to see our village changed beyond recognition by lots of small housing cul-de-sac over-developments as well as the agreed planned developments ? No extra facilities or utility upgrades ? No account taken of extra traffic volumes, power and water needs, few or no new school places, or doctors & dentists lists ?

This is happening all over England, but especially in the South, with semi-rural and suburban areas being eaten up by high price developers using the loopholes in the planning system to develop in private gardens. We must resist AND GET HOUSING BUILT THAT WE NEED. We support the EHDC planning department, and our Parish and District councillors, and we are against these over-developments, that are out-of-character

More and more formal housing development plans are being submitted for 'windfall' sites on a weekly basis. Although part of the EHDC Loacl Plan, we are being asked to accept far too many of these windfall sites. Most housing needs are covered by the allocated and reserved sites in the EHDC Local Plan (such as the new Barratt Development).

For each in-appropriate application we all need to object in writing to East Hampshire District Council, Penns Place, Petersfield, Hampshire GU31 4EX, using valid planning reasons (not emotional pleas) quoting the correct case reference code and make it clear that we object.

We need your help. Please write your valid objections and send
by letter or email attachment  to East Hants Planning, your representative District and Parish councillors and let them know that you object.
