Dear all,<\/p>\n
Local Plan consultation – objection to Blackwell Farm<\/strong> The following objection can be sent directly by email to: We object to Guildford Borough Council\u2019s changes to the draft Local Plan and the inclusion of Blackwell Farm as a development site [Policy A26 & para. 4.1.9], which:<\/strong><\/p>\n Please forward this to anyone who might be interested. If you would prefer to draft your own objections to this site, that would be even better, but please remember to refer to a change in the Local Plan policies and to cite the policy number, and (where relevant) the paragraph, otherwise the Council will disregard it.<\/p>\n Beechcroft Drive access<\/strong> The removal of the proposed Beechcroft Drive access suggests that the A3 widening is not going ahead during the Local Plan period, and without this widening, the growth planned for borough in the Local Plan cannot be accommodated.<\/p>\n Day of Action – call for volunteers<\/strong> PR<\/strong> http:\/\/www.getsurrey.co.uk\/news\/surrey-news\/guildford-local-plan-blackwell-farm-13189546<\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.getsurrey.co.uk\/news\/surrey-news\/guildford-local-plan-what-hogs-13192225<\/a><\/p>\n
\nAs I’m sure you are aware, the Local Plan consultation is underway, and it is important that as many people as possible write in to object to continued inclusion of the Blackwell Farm scheme (policy A26). Please spread the word as widely as possible. A standardised response postcard has been produced by Save Hogs Back (see attached).<\/p>\n

\nThe latest draft of the Local Plan also removes the provision for an alternative access to Beechcroft Drive & Manor Cottages. The current access (a 90 degree junction on a blind bend of the A3) is dangerous not just to the residents of Beechcroft Drive, who use the junction on a daily basis, but to all drivers travelling on the A3. I would urge everyone to object to the removal of this scheme (SRN6) on safety grounds.<\/p>\n
\nThe London Green Belt Council is organising a \u201cDay of Action\u201d for Save Hogs Back on Monday, July 3. Many thanks to everyone who has already helped to distribute the postcards across the west of Guildford.<\/p>\n
