An Emergency Meeting in the Benson Hall was called to discuss the implications of Green Square new Briar Leaze Development Application 18/10188/VAR

Stop Press: Green Square have agreed to the Briar Leaze access road repairs

The history so far:

Green Square initially had outline consent to build 50 new houses at Briar Leaze
This would have involved the demolition of most of the 20 existing homes
This was prevented by the adoption of the Compton Bassett Neighbourhood Plan
Green Square application 15/122294/FUL was to demolish 6 existing houses and construct ion of 13 new houses which is allowed in the Neighbourhood Plan
15/122294/FUL was approved on 19th January 2018 with 12 conditions, the 2 most iportant being that plans for proper sewage and surface water discharge had to be approved before any devlopment could commence
There were also further issues with bats and existing Briar Leaze residents that also had to be resolved which delayed the development
Green Square have recently submitted a new application 18/101888/VAR which seeks to remove planning conditions 2, 5, 6, 10 and 11 imposed on 15/122294/FUL
This raises some important issues for the Village Hall and for the village
