REMINDER – ACT NOW – Please Help Save The Ranch
There is a planning application in NOW to build 250 houses on Green Belt land on the opposite side of the valley that overlooks Shetland Pony Club. This will severely impact:
The beauty of the views from The Ranch that you love
Be bad for nature and wildlife
Cause congestion and access issues with additional traffic
Please object to the Planning Application2025/1097 to preserve the environment of The Ranch for future Generations.
