Important post from @normandyparish about the prospective major housing development in Normandy and the process that will unfold over the next few months. Join our mailing list to stay informed and know how to object! facebook.com/groups/3657719…

Here we go again... An enormous housing development that would have eliminated the green space at the heart of #Normandy, proposed in 2016 but eventually removed from the @GuildfordBC Local Plan, is back in prospect. For full details visit our website: normandyag.org.uk/red-alert

Success! For now at any rate: @GuildfordBC has issued a temporary Article 4 Direction on the land at Bailes Lane that was the subject of our Petition. We must now ensure it becomes permanent. More on our website here: normandyag.org.uk/news/603-baile… Thanks the 100 who have signed so far!

We have set up a Petition to urge @GuildfordBC to act with jurgency by serving an Article 4 Direction on this site: democracy.guildford.gov.uk/mgEPetitionLis… Please sign to show your support! Sadly, there is further evidence of the degradation of the site today: see image.

🚨 WIN FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES! 🚨 This week, the House of Lords voted through a #LevellingUp Bill amendment that ensures both the public and parliament get a say on all new national planning policies. 🧵 [1/4]

⚠️😡Make no mistake, we are angry. This Government has today launched an attack on nature. We don’t use the words that follow lightly. We are entering uncharted territory. Please read this thread. 1/13

Thanks @guildforddragon for greT coverage of our local MPs' visit to #WanboroughFields for briefing on AONB review exercise and urgent need to enforce planning regulations. And thanks to @JonathanLord for organising and @AJRichardsonMP et al for coming guildford-dragon.com/2022/03/16/fiv…

Delighted to see new website for @CommunityPlann1 United we stand to resist inappropriate development and to safeguard our green spaces! communityplanningalliance.org

Deadline for public consultation on the Surrey Hills AONB Boundary Review is 31 January! You can see the comments submitted so far on the Story Map here: southcoastgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJourna… #StoryMaps Don't miss your chance to put in a good word for our precious landscape!

Have you been concerned by the Government's proposals on #Biodiversity Net Gain? if so, this excellent webinar arranged by the @CommunityPlann1 is essential viewing! youtube.com/watch?v=AdUkwr…

🚨: Ministers reported to be rethinking damaging planning proposals. We've been calling on @BorisJohnson to drop these plans. This is a victory for local campaigners all across the country! Let's give communities the power to shape their future! dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…

Good news - at long last (it’s only taken since 2013!) Sincerely hope this will allow greater protection for AGLV at #Wanborough, currently subject to depredations and unscrupulous marketing.
