Meetings
On the 17th September 2005
we met with the head of planning for Streatley at West
Berkshire Council in Newbury, briefing him on the land in
question, Gladedale, Green Issues and their open letters. Although
clearly taking an unbiased approach, WBC outlined the policies
which would be followed in reaching a decision in the event
of a planning application and were very helpful in answering
our questions.

In particular the principal levels of development protection
for the village embodied in the West Berkshire Council
Local Plan were discussed. Namely, Streatley being wholly
in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village
Settlement Boundary, the village Conservation Area and
Listed Buildings. West Berkshire Council highlighted the
importance of personal correspondence in respect of any
planning application. Following this meeting we met with
Green Issues Project Manager, where principally we endeavoured
to clarify the strength of feeling against any urban development
on the land. |
