Lee-Over-Sands Gypsy site

Just heard from a reader of our blog (a local journalist) that the application has been turned down, mainly on the grounds of the site being in a flood risk area. What makes this a hollow victory for us is that this decision was apparently not made because of our resident's objections but zoning technicalities. The local opinions of real neighbours which should be what actually matters in the decision making process - so ironically sometimes, we can get a result through our so called elected democratic process - just not the right one we hope for!
