Please oppose Owens Farm development in Hook

Owens Farm Landscape Strategy Plan

[Update: Planning application now submitted]

Please help to oppose another green field development, this time another 700 houses at Owens Farm in Hook.

This is not yet a formal planning application, but it is expected that a planning application will be lodged in the next couple of months. Developers are required to demonstrate that they have consulted the community before making an application. The developer is “consulting” on their proposal through their website here.

Please take less than 5 minutes to lodge a response in objection. A simple “not needed, not wanted” response is enough to ensure that they cannot claim community indifference to their proposal which is the opposite of what residents have demanded.

You can lodge your objection to Owens Farm here: http://www.owensfarm.co.uk/have-your-say.php. If you prefer you can email comments to [email protected].

If you need any help for a more detailed objection, please use these references for guidance:

• Hart’s housing allocation is ridiculous. If the target was reduced to more sensible levels, we wouldn’t need to build on any of our green fields.
• There is a brownfield solution to our housing needs
• We need proper infrastructure and this development will not deliver.

Thank you for your help.
