Keep Hammerton Green

Against the destruction of the tranquil Village of Green Hammerton through over-development

[Duncan Lean @duncanlean]

There is a really good area around Green Hammerton which would make for a really good wilderness space. Easy distance from Harrogate, York and Leeds- A59 and rail service would need upgraded to cope with the visitors. Would be a much better use of the land than houses @KGHG2018

[Peter Lilley @HarrogateScribe]

Can we please have a new chairman of @HarrogateBC's scrutiny committee to replace @HKLibDems' Coun Chris Aldred? We need a councillor who's wholeheartedly committed to scrutiny rather than one who seemingly thinks his primary role is to do as he's told by council officers.

This is literally the funniest thing #blocked! ⁦@Harrogatebc⁩ these developers do not care about local communities & have not consulted ONE BIT with the village. This goes against your Statement of Community Involvement yet you continue to entertain them. ⁦@KGHG2018⁩

@BelfastCol @KGHG2018 @Harrogatebc @ReeveBurnett @FlaxbyPark Leaves you wondering why that’s not obvious to others. Let alone the fact that the Hammerton development supports York not Harrogate and rips up enormous chunks of countryside unnecessarily.

[Belfast Col @BelfastCol]

Skip Bridge area of A59 is like an ocean & 2 feet off flooding the A59 for the 4th time in 2020. Cattal Bridge & Hunsingore is closed again for the 5th time in 2020. @Harrogatebc @ReeveBurnett Youre building on a flood plane. Where will the run off go? @FlaxbyPark @KGHG2018

@completebanker2 @hoopsliz @KGHG2018 @irishmelno1 @JoHYork @FlaxbyPark @Harrogate_News @Harrogatebc Well I really hope so. I cannot believe that anybody in their right mind would not see that Flaxby is the right place for a new settlement (in comparison to the Hammerton/Cattal option). 🤞🤞🤞

[Katharine @ThmpsnK]

@irishmelno1 @JoHYork @FlaxbyPark @Harrogate_News @KGHG2018 @Harrogatebc Some kind of legal action needs taking to stop the Green Hammerton/Cattal development going ahead.
There at least needs to be a truly independent review.

[YorkshireRelic @RelicYorkshire]

@Harrogate_News @FlaxbyPark @KGHG2018 ....is this right? Has Inspector just accepted the main argument for Hammerton and Cattal is that @Harrogatebc wants it? Hardly seems right basis for such a monumental decision. Curious to know your position.

@hoopsliz @Colpeper @KGHG2018 @gordiegorgor @FlaxbyPark @Harrogatebc So why ever consult? When the deals done anyway? That’s the way it feels 😔

[Alex Smith @Colpeper]

@gordiegorgor @KGHG2018 @janehelenroche @FlaxbyPark @Harrogatebc This has only ever been about one thing.

[jane ratcliffe-roche @RatcliffeRoche]

Since the local plan has been ‘passed’ I drive past unused land @FlaxbyPark, nxt to a heat source, proposed new station & 3000 jobs off to my ‘conservation’ village which is set to be destroyed (against planning policy) by @Harrogatebc and I just don’t understand 🤷‍♀️😢 @KGHG2018

[Katharine @ThmpsnK]

@FlaxbyPark @Harrogate_News I am positively bewildered by the inspector's report on the #Harrogate Local Plan. I find it almost impossible not to see the obvious merits of the proposed development at @FlaxbyPark

[Land at Flaxby @FlaxbyPark]

Today the @Harrogate_News writes about the dismay over Inspector’s report on #Harrogate Local Plan. You can read the article and our response here - https://t.co/V3PxSQQRlW

[jane ratcliffe-roche @RatcliffeRoche]

@KGHG2018 @FlaxbyPark Am I reading this local plan report right? It’s supporting to destroy 4 existing communities over a location next to employment. #disbelief #gobsmacked 💔

[Duncan Lean @duncanlean]

FYI @KGHG2018 @hoopsliz @HarrogateScribe @HGShame @ReeveBurnett

[jane ratcliffe-roche @RatcliffeRoche]

Seeing these #hedgerows destroyed by @homesbystrata is like 💔💔💔 Nature and habitats just aren’t important *enough* to allow for them to be incorporated into design. Keep up the fight @KGHG2018

Wonderful night 👏👏

[Duncan Lean @duncanlean]
