Public Meeting Update
Lagan Homes Outline Planning Application – Ref: 24/00914/OUT
Over 200 people attended the public meeting on 30th October 2024 which was called by the Parish Council in response to the above planning application to build 470 houses on land either side of Burroughs Road.
Residents were updated on the numbers of responses to the HBBC local plan consultation which totalled 775, as well as all the actions the Parish Council and Rise for Ratby Group had undertaken to help fight against this live application. The meeting was also streamed live on the Rise for Ratby Facebook group.
Four key things came out of the meeting:
- Confirmation that everyone does need to write a NEW letter to object to this application.
- Every resident can write a letter no matter what age. Do not limit your responses to one per household.
- A volunteer group was formed to go door to door to inform and help residents write objection letters – the volunteer meeting is being held at the church on Thursday 7th November at 7pm
- Daily Drop-in surgeries to help residents write letters will be put on in the library – These are being run every day this week 2-4pm
- We will also be attending the drop in coffee morning and Evergreens session on Thursday 7th November from 10am.
- Copies of the letter template and objection guide can be found on the Ratby Parish Council website www.ratbyparishcouncil.org.uk and the Rise for Ratby Website www.riseforratby.org.uk (they are available in both Microsoft Word and PDF formats.)
- Copies of both the letter and objection guide can also be picked up in the Library and In the Parish Council Office as previous and completed letters can also be left at both locations for us to submit on your behalf.
- Residents can also send objections by email Alex.jelley@hinckley-bosworth.gov.uk – Re: Lagan Homes Outline Planning Application, ref: 24/00914/OUT
Do not wait, submit your objection letters in as soon as possible!
On Saturday 16th November the Parish Council and Rise for Ratby – Community Engagement Group will be holding a Family Fun Day in the village hall, from 10am to 4pm there will be children’s activities and prizes, and food and refreshments, along with support from various groups and businesses from the village. Volunteers will also be on hand to help residents to write their objection letters.
We did it once before with the gas outage, let’s come together again as a community and say NO to Lagan Homes!
