I write to strongly object to any development of houses stated in the provisional local development plan at the rear of 10-20 Orchard Lane, Pilgrims Hatch, as outlined in the local newspaper last week.
As you will see from my address, I live immediately in front of this proposal and do not want to see 19 homes built on this land locked parcel of land.
Hulletts Farm is a Grade II listed property, along with the outbuildings, as they are pre 1/7/1948. As the only way to gain access to this field would be to demolish some/all of the buildings - this proposal is quite unacceptable.
I wish to be consulted on every aspect of this proposal in Orchard Lane and wish you to add my name & address to your list.
