Radcliffe on Trent Community Meeting Invitation 5 Dec 13 by Kerry Gough

Radcliffe Rush Hour: Not Quite the Rush You Might Think

Before you get in your cars this morning to go to work, we just wanted to share a short film we took of the traffic that passes our village. Picture this with the additional traffic generated by the 1000 houses already approved planning permission in Bingham and the 400 houses approved for development in Newton, and these have not even been built yet.


Now to add to this, Rushcliffe Borough Council are considering a planning application for a further 400 houses in Radcliffe on Trent, and to top it all, this application is sited on existing Greenbelt land.

We share in your pain as you travel past our village. Drive safe people!

The Telegraph: Planning System Heavily Skewed Towards the Interests of Developers

An article in The Telegraph this morning evidences the position that small communities like ours face when challenged with the prospects of large developments.

This will be gone soon if we are not careful.

Have a read of Christopher Hope's article, 'Planning System "heavily skewed towards the interests of developers over those of the public", says architect' at The Telegraph [online] (01 Dec 2013)

Next Radcliffe Community Meeting: 8pm, Thurs 5th Dec @ The British Legion

There is a lot of strong feeling in our village surrounding the recent submission of the Planning Application to develop the Greenbelt land on the Shelford Road site in Radcliffe on Trent. Please come and join us for an open and frank discussion of how you can respond to these proposals.

The planning application documents have been made available on the Rushcliffe Borough Council website by way of consultation (but unfortunately this is rather hidden), hence our reasons for reproducing these materials here for you. In this public meeting we will be offering advice on how you can respond to the application. The deadline for acceptance of submissions is currently set for 17th December 2013, which gives us precisely 12 working days to read, digest and respond to this application.
