Stop Notice on Persimmons requested



 Mud on the road - just another breach by Developer Persimmons

 Readers will remember our long campaign to prevent the development of the greenfield site at Daisy Hill in Morley. This sight was a controversial one and was only granted planning permission when Labour fiddled the planning process by packing a plans panel with Labour Councillors who - like the man from Del Monte - like to say YES where Developers are concerned!

Residents wholly opposed this site and raised concerns that it was a tough site for Developers to develop because of its location. We were told that conditions imposed by the planning permission would prevent problems and that issues such as blocked drives, heavy lorries blocking roads and mud on the road would not occur. We were offered a Disneyland vision where Persimmons would work hard to minimise the impact on local residents with promises they would be a good neighbour.

Promise after promise was broken and residents have had enough living in a Persimmons inspired hell hole!

I have formally requested that a Stop Notice is served on the Developer by Planning Enforcement. These are serious notices that are imposed when Developers refuse to comply with the conditions that are part of the legal agreement that comes with the granting of planning permission. The constant disregard for these conditions and the utter contempt Persimmons have for the local community is entirely unacceptable. We need to send the clearest and firmest of messages that such anti-social behaviour cannot be tolerated.

The stop notice has been requested. It will be interesting to see who Labour Leeds City Council put first - residents or the Developer!
