Further to my original objection submitted back in August 2021 to North Northamptonshire Council, reflecting local concern, I am continuing to work closely with local residents and elected representatives in Woodford in further raising the ongoing concerns relating to planning appeal 22/00025/REF; the unauthorised development on land along Thrapston Road in Woodford, which has now been referred to the Planning Inspectorate for determination on appeal. As I have stated previously, and will continue to emphasise to the appropriate authorities, if this appeal is allowed, it will set a worrying and undesirable precedent for other unauthorised developments to crop up, both locally and nationally, which would be, as is the case with this one, incredibly upsetting for local residents. Ultimately, the planning rules are there to be followed, and are there for everyone, without exception - and confidence in them must be upheld, not undermined. You can read my latest objection letter to the Planning Inspectorate, in full, below.
