Since the collapse of the Council’s original plans for the development of Elms Field in December 2013 due to the withdrawal of Sainsbury’s Supermarkets they have been working on a replacement scheme. These plans have now been submitted in November 2015 for planning approval under application ref 153125. The application is open to comment until the end of January 2016. We, in common with a large number of residents, felt that the original plans resulted in too much loss of open space to development, and will be examining the current ones to see if this loss has been reduced to an acceptable level as claimed by the Council.
