Hawkhurst Parish Council object to the Hawkhurst Golf Club Planning Application
The public comments ranged from
- The whole TWBC planning process is top down ignoring the views of local communities
- This is the biggest proposed development in the AONB, nationally
- The current infrastructure such as sewage, schools,medical practices cannot cope so how can adding 25% to the population be sustainable
- The negative environmental impacts will be significant
- The proposed road is just an additional road, it will not bring relief but increase the congestion in Hawkhurst and the area
- The traffic survey was done during the “Beast from the East”, when hardly any traffic was on the roads. How can this be a reliable base point for statistical analysis
- We do need extra affordable houses, especially for young people
- This will ruin the community in Hawkhurst and the social infrastructure of a village
- They (the developers) can’t be bothered to turn up and argue their case
- Video reflecting the feelings of the community
Following the public meeting Hawkhurst Parish Council met and considered among other issues the Hawkhurst Golf Club planning application.
