| Souldrop Village Green (Click the image to enlarge it) |
Following complaints (mine and one village
resident’s) and requests to have the green restored to its pre-developed condition, Bedford Borough Council
required the parish council to submit a retrospective planning application which
was subsequently abandoned. A new, amended application has been submitted
although it still retains the original application date – see Application
16/03052/S73A HERE. (I have found that the Council's website is unreliable so the link may not work.)
My view is that the application should be refused not
least because it seems to me that the Borough Council does not have the power
to authorise planning permission on a registered village green.
I make my case HERE.
Village and town greens are wonderful assets which should be treasured not spoilt. Souldrop Village Green should be restored to its former pre-developed condition.
