This was then discussed by again in the open forum at the Parish Council meeting of the 24th July (Agenda item Item 32/24-25).
Update: 4 Sept 2024 – Horningsea Parish Council understands the concerns raised that have been raised by residents and encourages everyone to attend the Open Forum of the next Parish Council meeting (25th September) when this matter will be on the agenda.
Deadline: 9th September 2024 after which time results will be collated and
reported back to Dakin Estates.
The proposal
Dakin Estates is the development representative for Quy Estates, who recently received planning permission for the development of Manor Farm. He is interested in the Parish Council’s opinions on the potential development of Laney Meadow if the current lease, which allows public access to Laney Meadow and River Meadow, ever expires.
A rough sketch has been provided (see below), illustrating two houses along with plans for a village tennis court. Pedestrian access is marked in pink, while continued access to River Meadow is designated in dark green. The proposed tennis court car park, capable of accommodating 6 vehicles, would be constructed using permeable pavers.
Before reporting back to Dakin Estates/Quy Estates on behalf of village residents, it is the Parish Council’s intention to ensure that all residents are consulted and given the opportunity to respond. The Parish Council sent the letter below to all residents and have posted on the Horningsea Residents Facebook group too.
