More information tQuestions:

Should we be seeking a Judicial Review now?

It is not possible to seek a judicial review of a decision before it has been made. In terms of the Government’s decision to use the Urgent Crown Development process, the government has not yet published its formal decision on this and we have not seen their rationale. Without this information it is not possible consider a legal challenge. However, the Council will be keeping these matters under review.

 

Will the Council post its response to all residents?

Due to the extremely short timescales, this would not be the best way of communicating to residents. The Council’s response will be published online and we will work with the Parish Council to ensure residents of Barnham are kept informed.
