Wednesday May 12, 2004 Blue Hills update.

Positive progress regarding the area around Blue Hills.

Following discussion between myself and Chris Kirk (the district council conservation officer) TPOs have been placed on all the grade A and B trees at Blue Hills. The developers have also agreed to preserve the hedgerows, but these are not legally protected in the same way as the trees are.

The result of this 'victory' for conservation is that the proposed layout of the development will have to change and may see what many would consider as more appropriate houses being buit on the site. The principal of housing on the site is established, however, and so the important issue is to ensure that it is carried out in sympathy with the surrounding area.

With Blue Hills the developer has an opportunity to construct an unique site in what is quite a lovely 'green' area. Lets hope that something comes forward to do it justice.
