Latest news from our hardworking MP:
ROSIE COOPER MP RAISES CONCERNS AT PROPOSED PARRS LANE HOUSING
Immediate release: Friday 5 March
West Lancashire MP Rosie Cooper has raised concerns about the proposals from David Wilson Homes to build hundreds of houses on land to the south of Parrs Lane.
DWH have launched a website with plans to deliver a new housing community on this land stretching as far as Moor Hall.
MP Rosie has asked West Lancashire Borough Council what discussions have taken place and whether an application has been submitted.
She said:“For residents of Aughton this will feel all too familiar, with big housing developers keen to swoop in and build large scale housing developments with executive homes on valuable and vital, high-grade, agricultural land in the greenbelt.
“On multiple occasions Aughton Residents Group have had to mobilise and inform the local community of developers’ plans for the area, and they are ready to fight again.
“I have written to West Lancashire Borough Council asking for more details and their understanding of what stage the plans are at.
“Should the development proceed to a full planning application, I will be supporting local residents in opposition and calling for the council to adhere to their Local Plan, which clearly gives no indication that this land should be used for housing.
“The council have already had to take legal action to defend its local plan and I would hope they do all they can to resist these predatory applications.”
It was Our West Lancashire who actually first alerted Aughton residents to this kite flying by a Developer. They are not seeking an application now. They are trying to influence the new local plan process which the Labour cabinet will kick off again this week.
In the last local plan proposals, the MP sat on the fence for months while her Labour colleagues, including members of her own office staff promoted 16,000 new houses including many on Grade1 agricultural land and land around Parrs Lane. She said nothing when the Labour councillors agreed with a Conservative Government consultation proposal to use an algorithm to increase local housebuilding numbers. OWL protested along with tens of thousands of others and the proposal was thankfully dropped, but no thanks to our MP.
