Update from Outrage

Message from Outrage

We now have confirmation that the Stonehenge Farm application will be considered by the OCC Planning and Regulation Committee on Monday November 24th, despite the fact that the WODC Strategic Flood Review is not yet ready and hasn't been published. The committee's resolution on July 21st was that consideration of this application should be deferred 'until such time as the WODC Strategic Flood Review was published'. The officers recommend that this resolution should be rescinded. Outrage's solicitors have written to the County Council and our barrister will be addressing the Planning and Regulation Committee on the day. For further information, take a look at outragecampaign.blogspot.com. You can access the Nov. 24th Agenda and the officers' recommendation at http://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/content/public/Resources/hlpdownloads/PN/pn241108.htm)


PLEASE COME TO THE PLANNING MEETING AT COUNTY HALL, WESTGATE, OXFORD, ON NOVEMBER 24TH, AT 2PM.

It is very important that the committee should be exposed to public scrutiny on November 24th. If they decide to overturn their previous resolutions we should make sure that they do so in the public gaze. November 24th may be our last opportunity to defeat an application which may increase the risk of flooding and which will destroy our countryside.

MEANWHILE COME AND HAVE SOME FUN AT THE FAMILY FUNDRAISER AT NORTHMOOR VILLAGE HALL ON NOVEMBER 22ND.

Our Fundraising campaign has been a great success. The attempt to nullify the majority votes of the OCC Planning Committee means that legal representation is now more important than ever. Your contributions have made it possible for OUTRAGE to instruct both our solicitors and our QC. We want to thank everyone who has helped in any way - by giving donations, by buying and selling raffle tickets and by buying Family Fundraiser tickets. There are still tickets available for this event. It'll be a great evening out, with wonderful food, music and dancing - and of course the Grand Raffle Draw with lots of fantastic prizes. Please come along and bring your friends. More information on outragecampaign.blogspot.com.
