See the objection in full and a summary of the planning application below:
- Eyebury Rd summary of outline planning permission
- Objections to 24/00541/REM Reserved matters submission 1.0
Comment from the website editor “It seems that everyone except the officers in the city council really have any concerns about how this estate will impact Eyebury Road and the village in general. Eye Primary School is already oversubscribed even before this estate is built, children are having to be shipped out of the village to other schools such as Newborough Primary School and the city council seems to be burying their heads in the sand about the issue. As said previously it should never have been included in the local plan at the size it is to begin with at least without the appropriate infrastructure in place first.
