Petitions and Planning

The 11th September has come and gone (with a big celebration for Josie Pearson, of course) - but that was also the date that the Cabinet of the County Council were supposed to sit down and discuss the development plans for Hay.
I haven't heard anything yet about the results of that meeting, but last night when I went on Facebook I found a petition.


"90 BED CARE HOME TO BE BUILT ON HAY JUNIOR FOOTBALL PITCH

Hay Junior Football Club currently have 123 members, If the care home was built then children would not have a football pitch to be active on. HADSCA are not offering in anyway a replacemnt area for the children to play on and have neglected these young people during the process of offering the developers an option agreement and sell the land for 750K if this option is taken up by March 2013.

I must stress that 2 out of the 6 trustees did not agree to the option agreement being signed!!!

Sincerely,

Hay JFC"

It's been started by Gareth Davies.

Meanwhile in Talgarth, it seems that the local protest group are succeeding in their bid to stop the old Hospital site being re-developed into 100 new homes. They have concerns about access, amongst other things. Their latest information is that the planning committee of the National Park will refuse permission on five counts. The biggest shame here is that a wonderful (and huge) Victorian building has been allowed to rot by the owners since it was closed down as a mental hospital and sold off.
