Have just received a more detail about the ENC planning meetings:
The only certainty is that there are meetings scheduled at 3-weekly intervals.
i.e 17th December, 7th January, 28th January etc.. Agendas are usually published a few days before. Suggest keep on checking the ENC Planning website.
Fineshade residents have been informed by the Chair of the Committee, Councillor Bradberry, that the decision is unlikely be taken on 17th December and the most likely date is 28th January. The group there will confirm as soon as they have any more details. The published reason for deferral is "to allow officers to seek additional highways advice and for a site visit".
Many people are now directing representations to Northamptonshire Highways suggesting that they should refer to all the many exisiting objections, particularly in relation to the additional pressure on the A43 Fineshade junction. Highways previous comments were very weak indeed and showed no indication that they had considered the problem in any detail! To help, letters should be addressed to:
Northamptonshire Highways, Northamptonshire County Council, Riverside House, Riverside Way, Northampton, NN1 5NX. Seems best to mark FAO: David Farquar.
Following a recent suggestion there seems to be considerable enthusiasm in forming a, 'Friends of Fineshade Forest' organisation. Please spread the word and leave a message here if you wish to help.
