Eco-town protestors take campaign to town hall

David Callaghan, PlanningResource, 21 April 2008

Protestors fighting plans for an eco-town in Warwickshire are to stage a demonstration outside council offices on Monday afternoon.

A site at Middle Quinton near Long Marston in south Warwickshire is one of 15 locations shortlisted by the government for eco-town status.

But campaigners say there has not been sufficient consultation on the proposed 6,000 homes, and are set to lobby a meeting of all councillors at Stratford-on-Avon District Council.

Meanwhile, Arun District Council in West Sussex says it is considering a public inquiry into a planned eco-town at Ford near Littlehampton.

A full council meeting next week will discuss whether to set up a group of eight councillors and an independent planner to review proposals for 5,000 homes.

Elsewhere in Leicestershire, a campaign group is staging roadshows to protest against the Pennbury eco-town planned for a location near Stoughton.
