!! Urgent Petition by 30th April !!

Dear Friends

I am emailing with further developments with regard to the building of a school on Lake Farm.

As you are aware Hillingdon Council forced through its Planning Committee plans to build a primary school on Lake Farm Country Park set in the green belt.

This was then passed on to the Mayor for London for his consideration. Sadly Boris Johnson, the Mayor for London gave the London Borough of Hillingdon the go ahead. 

The issue for us now is that even with full planning permission the council cannot legally build on Lake Farm because of the Section 106 agreement it entered into with Stockley Park over the development of the "Trident" site.  This was raised at the planning meeting but the legal officer dismissed this as not relevant to the application in front of the committee.

This has resulted in the council employing a QC for legal advice.  The advice the council has been given is to either seek the permission of the other party to the agreement (i.e. Stockley Park) or if they wish to proceed without that permission, they can advertise an appropriation of open land for development and then after considering any objections they can disregard any legal agreement.

I am urging residents to sign the petition of objection or to write to the council with their individual letters of objection.

We do not have much time as the closing date for objections is 30th April.

Please sign the petition, encourage your friends, neighbours and members of your organisation to sign it and return it to my office by 30th April.
