A delegation from the Parish Council have visited a site operated by this developer.

Harmony Energy have held two short meetings with the Parish Council to give a brief outline of their proposal.

The Parish Council met on 11th March and discussed the proposal. No parishioners attended the meeting to comment at that time. 

There are numerous documents attached to the planning application which Council are currently looking at. At this time Council have requested an extension with RMBC in order to ensure that they understand the application and its implications before any response to the planning application is submitted. The Council is a consultee and not a decision maker.

Council are also looking at comments made by Parishioners online. 

This planning application will be discussed at the Parish Council meeting on 8th April and a decision on Council's response will be made at that time.
