A few years back I bought half a dozen eggs from someone who promptly told me that it wouldn't be long before buying half a dozen eggs wouldn't be allowed because the EU had said that eggs would have to sold by the 5 sometime in the near future. I had no idea what she was talking about so when I got home I googled this '5 eggs in a box story'. Well, well, quelle surprise, it was a story ...
All, for info - see letter below that I sent to our MP last week. I copied in all our local councillors. To date, I have had no response back from MP. "Dear Ms Morris, The Housing and Planning Bill and Starter Homes I note it is the government’s policy that Starter Homes, which outside of London can cost up to £250,000, should not only be officially defined as a form of Affordable ...
Anne Marie Morris responds: As the Minister knows, I have campaigned for a community right of appeal for many years, and it is now time to consider that issue seriously as there is more and more support for it across the House.

I understand his concerns about the current proposal, but he assumes that the authorities will determine that the drainage and infrastructure in place are adequate. I have a number of examples where, in my view and that of the community, that is not the case. If there was a way of appealing those decisions if they are ...

Brandon LewisMinister of State (Communities and Local Government) Lords amendment 110 seeks to remove an automatic right to connect to the public sewer for surface water, unless a sustainable drainage system forms part of a development and is constructed in accordance ...
Well, if that is the case maybe that is all the more reason why developers should have a legal obligation to provide additional drainage systems/SUDS. BTW I have been told that our MP didn't speak in favour of the SUDS amendment but rather that she said the SUDS issue needed to be addressed but this amendment wasn't the right way to do it. So, I have written to her asking her the obvious ...
Wonder if any of our district councillors know what is going on?
