How can it be important to them in its present state? Their website http://www.keepcroxleygreen.co.uk/ says that "The land was compulsory purchased by LUL and they obtained a licence solely for tipping. Tipping stopped over 25 years ago. LUL gave up their licence and tried to offload the land firstly to TRDC for £1 and then to CG Parish Council - for use by the community. It has been used by the community for years. We want to keep it that way!" I've never been there but the website includes photos of what looks like an attractive rural scene. In a case like this where supposedly "operational land" in fact hasn't been used for many years and has no track on it, shouldn't the locals have a right to be heard ? This is not the same as extending or modernising an existing facility - it is effectively a new development. But perhaps LUL are right and there is no better place for their depot - so let them prove their case through the planning process. If the NIMBYs win where then does the new depot get put? |
