Hot on the heels of the Government Inspector's decision to grant planning permission to the developers for their "underground" scheme (which some of us have christened the "Teletubbies scheme") which was a blow to the objectors and to GARA - the local residents association, has come a second blow. The developers (Linden Wates) have lodged an appeal on their "Plan B" scheme which was for a huge infill between the Gondar Gardens small mansion blocks directly opposite houses in Sarre Road. This was also turned down by the Council only a few months ago.
Everyone is surprised and disconcerted by this new move - should they win again - which scheme would they want to build ? Or would they, as some residents fear, go away and come back with a third and even bigger scheme destroying a majority of the reservoir site?
We are trying to find out and to ensure there is still a future for the slow-worms and other wildlife on this valuable open space.
