RR/3496/CC

Description:

The proposal includes the installation of a Yurt and a composting "Thunderbox" WC on the land adjacent to Robertsbridge Community College.

Comments:

The site of this application has been a 'paddock' since my husband and I moved here in 1993 and has been left to overgrow since being purchased by the school and last year, without consultation with or notice to ourselves the area was cleared by a digger and all debris pushed up against and over our garden boarder leaving a huge pile of mixed earth, trees, metal and chunks of an asbestos roof of a former stable. After numerous emails between myself and firstly Sue Prochak and then after Stephen Hardy we were told that the debris was to be removed but as of today it is still there and we have been forced to remove some of this ourselves. Also, a structure has appeared on the site made of wood and canvas for which no planning application has been made. Is this to stay in addition to the proposed yurt? We have no wish for a thunderbox toilet to be on the site attracting rats and causing odours. We are also concerned about any felling of trees especially the oaks which form a screen between our property and the school. Some healthy fruit trees have already been felled, we feel unnecessarily. Surely the oaks should be preserved? We feel we have been treated with contempt over this application and no consideration has been given to the neighbours bordering this site. All our protests have been ignored and genuine concerns overlooked. We are not against the forest school in principle but any change of use of the paddock is extremely concerning.
