Wilmer Place updates

Newmark has re-submitted same application to be heard by LBH November 6^th in order to circumvent the arguments of our Judicial Review; SLocal is therefore calling for ‘calling in’ of application on grounds that LBH not qualified to judge it because of complex issues. Decision would then have to be made by a Planning Inspector rather than by councillors. ‘ Calling in’ is decided by Eric Pickles as Secretary of State for Communities and is the person we need to lobby now.

Please:

write to Eric Pickles via the National Planning Casework Unit at: npcu@communities.gsi.gov.uk asking him to call in planning application 2013/3186 and 2013/3187 on the grounds that there are complex issues involved (especially on ecological grounds) which need the input of a Planning Inspector. Point out application for SSSI status, lack of proper environmental impact assessment and huge local opposition. Further actions for a call-in, see: click here for details of call-in procedure; these include writing to MP’s so it’s worth writing to Diane Abbott on this issue asking for her support.
object to new planning applications (numbers above) via LBH Planning portal citing same reasons as before. cliick here to comment on planning applications
say yes to new Environmental Impact Assessment Screening Opinion also on LBH website; enter the following and then: 2013/3204 to add comments.click here to support EIA screening

Natural England is responding positively to the application to become an SSSI. Early days yet but a good start made.
