Landowners don't give up trying

In the Whitchurch June FOCUS the local Lib Dem campaigners said

"Please don't assume that your comments are not needed if you

agree with the planners." As we expected, the owners of site

WHIT008, the hillside behind Lynch Hill Park from London

Road to the railway, have indicated that they do not accept

that the huge site is unsuitable for housebuilding. Happily, comments

opposing development of the site were sent in by nine residents.

But Whitchurch Town Councillor Michael Fitzgerald wrote in

proposing an increase of 2,500 in the population of Whitchurch and

saying that Arnolds Farm is a prime site for development. Cllr

Fitzgerald owns Arnolds Farm.
