June update: Judicial review to go ahead! After much deliberation with their lawyers, ADVEARSE have decided to go ahead with the judicial review (JR) to challenge the outline planning permission for the Bridport urban extension on area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) land at Vearse Farm. The remaining target of £16,000 has also just been raised.
ADVEARSE are raising funds for a judicial review against West Dorset District Council’s consent to allow 760 houses (plus industrial development and other mixed use – and up to 930 houses planned) to be built on Vearse Farm, in the Dorset AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), just outside Bridport. The planning committee has completely ignored the overwhelming opposition of local people to the urban extension of Bridport's historic little market town. If you love the Dorset countryside and want to stop developers from destroying it forever - please give to the ADVEARSE Crowdfunder raising funds for a judicial review to stop the biggest EVER destruction of AONB land.
Barry Bates, Chairman of ADVEARSE, says: ‘Local people are angry because their concerns about traffic and the strain on our infrastructure and medical and care services have been ignored by the council; and because despite the gross oversupply of expensive houses the council plans to build all over the West Dorset countryside, it admits it will still fail to provide the affordable housing needed by local families.’ More information can be found on http://www.advearse.org.uk/key-issues/.
