No doubt Alfold folk  are aware of an important Public Inquiry for a shed-load  of housing proposed by Thakeham  Homes/Merchant Seaman’s War Memorial Society, on the countryside around the village.  If you haven’t  received letter/s then you are among the lucky ones…. because most people have had more than one..two…three…

even… 25!

Here’s a comment from one of our followers, who becomes more and more disillusioned with ‘Your Waverley’ every day that goes by! It’s enough to take your breath away. She says:-

NOT REALLY FUNNY!

But I did have to laugh this morning when I saw a pile of post – and guess what? We had 25 … YES TWENTY-FIVE letters from Waverley regarding the Public Inquiry for the Thakeham Homes development at the Springbok Estate. This is where our Council Tax money goes!!

And…. perfect timing or what… the poor devils over there on the Surrey/Sussex border won’t know which way to go – to Cranleigh Art Centre to hear an Inspector hear why Care Ashore wants to build:

• 60 unit independent living facility with 20 associated bungalows.
• 125 dwellings.
• shop.
• cafe.
• sports facilities
• Outline application for 275 dwellings
• care home
• and primary school

OR on the very same day go to Godalming Council Offices to hear the Dunsfold Park Planning Inquiry for 1,800 homes.

They really are spoilt for choice! 

Answers on a postcard please: Which of these two Public Inquiries  will the Protect Our Little Corner of Waverley Group rock up to?
