Larkfleet Homes, Brooke Hill Academy, Woodland Trust, Parking Oakham Town Council

Larkfleet Homes, Brooke Hill Academy, Woodland Trust, Parking Oakham Town Council

I wonder how daft Oakham Town Council can get?

Tonight they considered two planning applications.

The first a proposal for Brooke Hill Acadmy to create a 30 space car park
on land leased from the Woodlands Trust.

After the Ward Councillor Alf  Dewis had told everyone this must go ahead because
a child might be killed Councillor approved the application.

The second application was from Larkfleet Homes. Oakham Town Council does not
like their developments and restated there are to many homes proposed on the site
between Barleythorpe Road and Burley Way.

They rejected the application because the two space encrouched into space marked
as proposed allotments. Thats a good reason to object? so how do they explain
30 car spaces encrouching into Woodland Trust Property, The circle of green surrounding
our town is getting smaller each year.

I wonder if Cllr Dewis will mind losing the view behind his house when that comes
up again for development again.
