Lavendon Gypsy Site Application Rejected
- 25 March 2010The application to establish a Gypsy Traveller
Site on land opposite the Cemetary was firmly
rejected at a packed public meeting of the
MK Council Planning Committee held at the
Civic Offices on 25 March.
The application was opposed by nearly 500
local residents primarily on the grounds
of highway safety, greenfield development
outside of the village envelope and in a
designated Area of Attractive Landscape;
also on grounds of sustainability (inadequate
local facilities) and various other local
factors.
The Chairman of LADRA, David Tomkins, and
LADRA members Andrew Jackson and Geraldine
Schofield addressed the planning committee,
expressing concerns on behalf of Lavendon
Residents, as did Olney Ward Councillors,
Debbie Brock and Peter Geary.
The planning committee formally rejected
the application on grounds of highway safety,
inadequate access & visibility and the
personal safety issues of those attempting
to cross the fast moving A428 traffic, all
contrary to MK planning policies T9, D1(vi),
T10 and H12(v).
