In October last year, the occupants of 5 River Close have withdrawn the application to adopt as their property an area of Pinn Meadows to the rear of the garden.
A massive thank you to the members who alerted FOPM to the problem, the scores of members and other residents who wrote to complain, and in particular to those who wrestled with the complexities of the Land Registry’s offputting system for dealing with objections.
There can be no doubt that the clamour of disapproval which arose in response to hearing of what was proposed, together with decisive action by councillors and officers, went a long way to head off a project which could have set an unacceptable precedent. Well done.
