A planning application discussed by members of the Brampton Abbotts and Foy group Parish Council at their meeting on Tuesday, July 25th, 2017, led to an extraordinary meeting, which took place on Tuesday, August 15th.

An application for a residential development of four dwellings on land at the Beeches, Brampton Abbotts was discussed in July.

According to the draft minutes of the meeting: “Following representations from the public, Cllr Teague presented a statement which indicated that public records show an irregularity with regard to the applicant name for this and earlier applications on the site, and that a resident of the Parish and member of the NDP Steering Group holding an undeclared interest in the land for this application. It was resolved to ask for clarification on this from the parishioner.”

The Council later decided to seek expert advice.

The discussion of the application followed and it was resolved to object to the development. This opinion will be passed to Herefordshire Council when the planning committee discuss it.

The Ross Gazette asked the Parish Council for an update. The Vice Chairman, Cllr D Teague said that the “answer to this will be found in the minutes of the Parish Council Meeting that took place on the 15th August when they are made available.”
