Respondent: Mrs Jill Hubbard

Representation Summary:

the strongest possible objection to this proposal. The steady development of access roads and industries which has been going on at Codham Hall Farm, contrary to planning regulations for many years, is completely wrong and it's a disgrace that BBC Planning Department has turned a blind eye to this.Why should past irregularities be condoned and approved retrospectively by this new proposal? BBC should be enforcing the regulations, not using the fact that they've already been ignored as an excuse to allow further development. The proposed development is inappropriate and unsuitable for this rural location in green-belt land.

I state the strongest possible objection to this proposal. The steady development of access roads, businesses and industries which has been going on at Codham Hall Farm, out of sight and out of mind and contrary to planning regulations for many years, is completely wrong and a disgrace that BBC Planning Department has turned a blind eye to this. To suggest that (3.19) "this provides an opportunity to regulate existing industrial uses that have grown up over the years in agricultural type buildings" is unbelievable. Why should past irregularities be condoned and approved retrospectively by this new proposal? BBC should be enforcing the regulations, not using the fact that they've already been ignored as an excuse to allow further development. The proposed development is completely inappropriate,
unnecessary and unsuitable for this rural location in green-belt land.
