New Flyer going out soon! Can anyone help distribute?

Final date for comments confirmed at 3rd May.

Closing dates for comments

It is not clear from various documents the exact closing dates, however being that the 2nd application 13/0480/FUL, was only lodged in the Watford Observer on 12th April and the closing date mentioned in that as the 30th April, this is the date that we are now working to.  We will double check... unless someone can confirm otherwise?

Refusal document for previous application

When writing your comments to Three Rivers we suggest that you use the reasons for refusing the first application as a basis for any further objections.  In our opinion these reasons are still valid for the second application.

Other historic properties saved from demolition

Not withstanding the fact that Rickmansworth needs a hotel and deserves a better offering than Greene King have given us in the last 25 years or so....

We cannot understand why the Victoria Hotel Building cannot be saved from demolition.

The Cross at Maple Cross was saved and sympathetically converted to residential houses..

And now this in the Watford Observer on 4th April 2013 where the Victorian Building that was Yorke Road School was saved from demolition by Three Rivers District Council....

2nd Planning Application Submitted...

The new planning application for flats on the site of the Long Island Exchange has been submitted to TRDC.  Comments must be in by 22 April 2013.   Details can be found on the TRDC website, looking for application No 13/0480/FUL.

The expected Plan B... full details. #savelongisland #Rickmansworth

For those who managed to get along to Watersmeet to see the first round of planning designs - you will already have received a copy of this brochure in the post.  For those of you who didn't,  here it is.

Following the rejection of the previous planning application, these renewed plans were expected.

We would encourage you to email & write to Framptons Planning and also get as many others to email/write as you can.  enquiries@framptons-planning.com. 

We need as many people as possible to write for this to be effective.  Re-blog, facebook and re-tweet as much as you can.  The local community's voice is probably the strongest weapon we have in the fight to keep our local hotel and one of the last remaining, historic community buildings in Rickmansworth.
