Invitation – Valley Trading at Babdown Ind Estate – Objection Meeting – Friday 17th May

Dear all,

As you may be aware Valley Trading have applied to increase their current recycling limit at Babdown Airfield from 45,000 tons to 75,000 tons. This is a vast capacity, on the scale of a big city and the location of the site is quite unsuitable. The resulting increase in HGV traffic would have an unacceptable impact on the surrounding roads and villages including Beverston, Tetbury, Kingscote and Nailsworth, and it needs to be resisted.  The application was very low on detail and Valley Trading have been asked to provide supporting information which will include likely vehicle movements.

We are really grateful to the work of the Parish councillors, and our MP, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown who have led the objections on this, and I note there are over 70 independent objections on the Gloucestershire planning website with more being added each day.  A Facebook page for those wishing to reject the application has been set up and can be found athttps://www.facebook.com/groups/367776513945795/?ref=group_header

Despite this, it appears that the application has not been well publicised, and we have complained that formal notifications seem to have been overlooked in many areas. Therefore, we felt it may be useful to hold a group meeting with the objective of formalising and growing support for the objections to the site.

I am hoping therefore you can join us for a brief meeting in The Barn at Calcot at 18:00 on Friday 17th May. It would be good to air the views of each impacted parish, and our own planning consultants CSJ Planning will be on hand to answer any technical issues on the application. Hopefully we can conclude with a plan of action to grow support for the objections, perhaps the various bodies, Beverston, Kingscote, Tetbury (TTC) etc could join together in a planned campaign with the backing of the elected representatives.

I would be extremely grateful if you could spread this invitation far and wide and to any of those who may have been missed from circulation.

Valley Trading Planning Application – Waste

Dear All

Not sure if you are aware of this planning application from Valley Trading to increase their waste volume from 45,000 to 75,000 tonnes, which will clearly bring a similar  increase in traffic in the area. I believe the planning authority  had a statutory duty to inform us of this, which has not happened, but I have been tipped off by residents in Beverston.  Letters of objection are supposed to be in by the end of next week, although I understand that letters after this will still be recorded. I understand that this volume of waste is on a par with the total volume handled by the City of Bristol!!

I would be very grateful if you would be able to spread the word to the Parish and if they would like to object to the application they will need to act swiftly and get their objections in by the 17th of April.

Any exposure and support to help in blocking this application would be greatly appreciated.
