Barry Turner responds to Matthews email---------------------

Well done Barry and the Parish Council  for helping the people of Shepperdine.

Matthew,

The Parish Council, I feel will want to respond  on this , there is no reason why they need 4 years in my view . If the site is designated I think there is a strong case  that they should bite the bullet and invest in am access from the power station road . Our original stance as you know was  that they should have a limited period and it is all focussed on whether or not the site becomes finally designated. If it is not designated well there does not seem much point for Horizon to want to proceed with further work down there . if it is designated it seems to me that that is the point where they should bite the bullet and create the new access in to there ground via the power station road. And so 4 years is an unreasonable amount of time for them to want to use totally unsuitable access , the time they should be granted  is significantly less than that .

There are times when I cannot understand the Planners logic (quite often in fact). The fact that Horizon are using this access when they have the means to create a more suitable one which would lessen the adverse effect of the enjoyment the residents en route suffer should not be extended unreasonably and I think 4 years is unreasonable .

I will keep my diary free for the 29^th and if the PC agree will go and put the case to the Planning Committee, as regards the 16^th  I seem to recall from the last call in we can have our say there as well , is that still the case ?.

Let me know what the position is re the onsite  visit please .

Barry
