WEST STREET 70 HOME DEVELOPMENT – ARE RESIDENTS BEING MISLED BY CONSERVATIVE TOWN & DISTRICT COUNCILLORS?

By Ken Perrin

Chatteris development plans  are controlled by 2 documents:- the Government NPPF &  the 2014  Fenland  Local Plan – totalling over 190 pages.

Firstly, we all complain about lack of infrastructure. The Councillors pass off developments without infrastructure. The documents state on many occasions that “developments must  be supported by the necessary infrastructure to go with them”. They are not adhering to that maxim!

Moreover, there are 3 ‘strategic’ development areas of Chatteris: North, South and East – ‘cast in stone’ by the Fenland Plan. The West of Chatteris is in an ‘indicative’ area – it is not ‘cast in stone’ that it has to built on. Reality is, that it  has not been considered because of flood risk and other mitigating circumstances. Yet conservative councillors on both Town & District planning committees passed it off.

I have even been told that, although they know about flood risk, traffic dangers and loss of habitat & biodiversity  “there is nothing we can do”.

How callous is this, knowing that a development can cause all of this pain & misery – and still vote for it – when there was something they ‘could of done’  OBJECT TO IT! And never passed it off in the first place. Indescribable!

I am ploughing through these 190 pages (it makes War & Peace easy reading) and get back to you with more news in August when I have the full facts.

I am not promising you anything – but I am keeping up my campaign to stop overdevelopment of our open and beautiful green spaces (see photo above).

The full facts (the bits the LIB/LAB/CON/ IND) don’t want you to know will be on my facebook Britdem Cllr Ken in Chatteris. Please join it.  Be kept up to date and make your voices heard.

It is a pleasure serving you. Keep well. Ken.
