MIDDLETON LODGE PLANNING APPLICATION UPDATE

After what has turned out to be a much longer preparation time than most of us expected, a decision on the planning application for quarrying and other complementary works of restoration, leisure and retail activities at Middleton Lodge has again been deferred till January 2009.

Concerns:

The potential prospect of being faced with another, more visible, quarry on our doorstep is far from acceptable. The possible affect on Barton isa:

  • Increased dust emissions falling in the prevailing westerly winds
  • Increased traffic
  • Disruption to wildlife
  • Disruption to watercourses
  • Devaluation of property
  • Increased noise of blasting

Whilst any planning decision will probably discount the 'property' point it is a fair comment worth bearing in mind - all of the above will affect Barton in one way or another.
