ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL BOURNEMOUTH COUNCIL |
|
| |
In an absolutely shameful move, after 45 weeks of not coming up with
a passable scheme, the Council has withdrawn its previous planning application
for this massive junction and submitted a newone. Whilst they have
"saved" the Barn, leaving it almost underneath by lengthening the
bridge span and altered the Environmental statement - both of which could have
been done by simple "minor alterations” to the original application -
by submitting a whole new application, they have dealt Bournemouth Residents a
really nasty blow. Although the Planning Statement makes it clear the
amendments do not "materially change the scheme" and indeed the
footprint is identical and they say they have done this to "address
matters raised by Statutory Consultees and other stakeholders," that DOES
NOT MEAN US! In one foul swoop, they have have invalidated all of the 500+
objections to the scheme and 2,500 people on the petitions and have refused, in
writing, to take them into account on this new application. The Holdenhurst
Village Parish Meeting has requested they carry out further public consultation
events, but these too have been refused and they have only given us the
statutory 30 day consultation period (but now ending 4th December) to
respond.Why? Because when fewer people respond to this application, they will
be able to claim they have answered everyone's concerns with this new one and
will give us a poor footing at the Planning Boardor in any Public Inquiry, or
indeed in even requesting a Public Inquiry!It does NOTHING to address the other
serious concerns of residents not just from Holdenhurst, but the entire
surrounding area from Iford to Throop and Muscliff, Castle Lane, Strouden,
Iford, Littledown and beyond:-? More traffic on Castle Lane East and Castle
Lane West – more congestion/pollution/noise and fly parking when the
offices are built |
|

the peaceful setting of the Retired Nurses National Home during
construction and theeventual overshadowing of the ? Destruction of the Green
Belt and providing a gateway into it from Holdenhurst to Throop and Muscliff
for future development? Serious harm caused to the Conservation Area and its
setting? Severance of part of Holdenhurst Village? Loss of emergency access
point to Holdenhurst Village? Destruction of high grade Agricultural land?
Destruction of Holdenhurst Stables? Detrimental to nearby homes in Holdenhurst
and Townsend and along Castle Lane with noise, light and air pollution? Damage
to biodiversity and wildlife for years to come and no net gains? Little to
encourage walking and cycling or use of innovative public transport? There is
no exclusive access into the Hospital site, which it needs. Ambulances will
have to take their chance with all the other traffic.? Genuine fear of
exacerbating flooding in the future (in just one year, they have already felt
the need to beef up flood alleviation proposals – with Global Warming,
what happens in a few more years’ time?)ONLINE

HISTORIC HOLDENHURST UNDER THREAT
The unique character of our ancient
village will be destroyed forever.
The Council wants to spend £millions
of taxpayers' money on a massive flyover to span the Spur Road and a huge
roundabout system to be built next to our Village Hall. The Council wants to
concrete over the Conservation Area, Green Belt, Floodplain and fields of our
local farmer.
This will have a negative effect on our
local natural environment and wildlife, as well as causing pollution affecting
the Retired Nurses National Home and Residents of Holdenhurst, Townsend and
Castle Lane.
They will flatten the 500 year old barn
and destroy local heritage. Why is the Council doing this? They want to open up
the Wessex Fields site and build Office Blocks!
The Council speaks of 'easing of traffic
problems'. How can this happen when the Council admits that there will be an
increase at rush hour of at least an extra 1,130 cars? What can we all look
forward to? o More traffic chaos and gridlock at peak times on the already
congested Cooper Dean and Castle Lane. o An increase in air and noise
pollution, which will have an adverse effect on a large number of residents. o
More accidents on the Spur Road with three huge junctions so close together.
Help preserve the last remaining ribbon of Green Belt that straddles the River
Stour. Once the Council has a gateway into the Green Belt you can guarantee
they will not stop at Holdenhurst Village. Help Save our Village. for latest
