The Planning Inspectorate have announced the date of their Public Inquiry into Gleesons Homes Ltd and Gladedale Group Ltd’s appeal against Basildon Council’s rejection of their Outline Planning Application Ref. 07/00801/OUT to build at Barn Hall. It will be held on 24 June 2008, beginning at 10.00am, in Meeting Room 1 at the Council’s offices in the Basildon Centre in St. Martin’s Square, Basildon. It may last more than one day. WNGAG encourage as many residents as possible to attend the inquiry and make their views known - loud and clear! For more information on what happens at a public inquiry and how the decision will be made afterwards by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Hazel Blears, see Leaflet 7 - April 2008.

It is vitally important that everyone who is against building at Barn Hall signs our new petition, which WNGAG and our MP, John Baron, will present to Hazel Blears on the day before the Public Inquiry opens.  Even if you signed our old petition, please sign our new petition here and encourage all your family and friends to sign too.
