Virtually the whole community of Long Lane objected to Mr Priestman’s planning application to change what is currently a deeply rural site to a semi urban space with six dwellings. How can it be that a planning officer who advised the applicant at pre-planning stage can disregard more than 100 local objections and representations?

It would appear there’s no support for a community like ours in this situation unless we can raise tens of thousands and take it to judicial review.
