Nocton Dairies Parish Council Q & A Event

Published at the Request of the Metheringham PC Clerk

Dear Sirs

As you will no doubt be aware from various reports in the local media, the District Council are currently in the latter stages of validating the planning application for the proposed dairy at Nocton. You may recall that, following the submission of the 2009 planning application, Officers of the Council met with Parish Council representatives of Nocton, Dunston, Branston & Mere, Metheringham and Potterhanworth to hold an informal question and answer session to assist in your understanding of the project before you submitted your formal planning comments to the District Council.

We propose to hold a similar event in connection with the 2010 planning application, the date and venue of which will be detailed in due course. It is likely that the Q & A session will be an evening event held in the next 10 days, however this will largely be determined by the date on which the application becomes valid. Please note that the event will be separate to the public display, which will also be held over a similar timescale, again at a time and venue/s to be determined.

Once the application has become valid, copies of the plans, Environmental Statement and other reports will be available to view through the usual process, depending on our ongoing arrangements with you. We will also bring hard copies of some of the plans and supporting information to both our Parish and public events.

We will contact you again when further details are available, however in the meantime please do not hesitate to contact me should you need to discuss anything further.

Regards,

Nick Feltham
Area Planning Officer
