Why did they even bother to ask the parish council, the grass-roots watchdog for its views? Because they never take any notice of them – do they? You can read why parish council members objected to the overdevelopment of this site on the link below!
You will also notice from the letter below that the parish council has objected to the construction of an estate road between `Knowle Lane and Alfold Road for the Berkeley Group’s construction traffic. Berkley’s is presently building the first 55 ‘high end’ properties which are part of the 425 homes consented. Worry about the trees or the biodiversity? Ask the men who dug new holes for the Badgers at little Meadow, part of the Bellway homes sites, and who found them drowned dead! As for the other infill scheme – great crested newts, bats, and other wildlife – Waverley planners don’t give a damn ask the residents of Farnham.
Does Cranleigh Newtown finally have a relief road in the making?
And… WHAT ABOUT WATER? Cranleigh along with other villages including Haslemere are under pressure… literally!
