Re: Devils Lane - sara (1st Sep 2016 - 12:08:00) does this mean that the caravan site at the top of Devils lane have to leave now

Re: Devils Lane - Bill Mouland (1st Sep 2016 - 12:14:21) They have a year in which to comply...

Re: Devils Lane - sara (1st Sep 2016 - 13:50:52) does this mean they have a year to move

Re: Devils Lane - Another resident (1st Sep 2016 - 18:08:33) Well, At last common sense has prevailed. But I do believe the law changed a year ago to stop developments in unsuitable areas like this. They could not have picked a more dangerous area to the public.

Re: Devils Lane - Keith (2nd Sep 2016 - 08:33:48) Sara Yes, that is correct. They have a year to leave the site. Part of the reason for the length of time is that the Inspector recognised that as there were no official traveler sites in East Hampshire, it could take them a while to find somewhere to move to.

Re: Devils Lane - F (13th Oct 2016 - 21:03:30) there are appealing against this decision basically there are grounds to appeal hopefully they will get their permission this time round?

Re: Devils Lane - Bill Mouland (11th Nov 2016 - 16:11:34) High Court decision ref the Connors family in Devils Lane. As you know, they were refused planning permission by EHDC and lost a subsequent appeal at a public inquiry. They appealed against the Government inspector’s decision but have not even been granted leave to appeal. I am told they have no other legal recourse and will now have to quit within a year. co/4897/2016 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION PLANNING COURT BEFORE THE HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE GARNHAM IN THE MATTER OF an application for permission to appeal under s.289 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 BETWEEN FELIX CONNORS Appellant and 1.
