Stansley Wood “Development”
I’m concerned about the new holiday homes/ residential buildings currently being constructed next to the Stansley Wood entrance gate. I assume they’ve got planning permission so a lot of the obvious disturbance issues have clearly already been overruled by now, but I am concerned that there is a path going straight from these buildings into the permit only area with no gate. If they are rented out for money, it’s likely that these will be marketed towards weekend dog walkers who won’t be in the area for long, will have little accountability and little information will be given to them in terms of access restrictions and rules. Are there any mitigations in place and has this been brought up with SSW? I don’t really see how it’s fair that anyone should have free access to the permit only zones unless they are working for SSW. Apologies if I’ve misunderstood anything, ive not seen any posts about it on here, its just very hard not to notice the chopped down trees, piles of rubble and sound of chainsaws and loud music not far from the “quiet as you approach the hide” sign, thats all!
I had a meeting today to discuss this with SSW and there is a gap by the old access gate, in between the building and the gate. SSW will investigate and resolve with the developers who likey needed some access around the building during the building works. The old gate will be padlocked again to prevent access with best regards Mark
