Guide to the Planning Framework
Over 130 people attended our planning seminars held on 5, 12, and 23 September in Normandy Village Hall (our thanks to the Trustees for making it available for this purpose).

'Grey Belt' - What Is It?
At the Taylor Wimpey (TW) 'consultation event' on 18 July, many people were either confused or angered by TW’s claim that “The land is grey belt, previously developed or underused and not strongly contributing to the Green Belt’s wider purposes”.
