So now Royale Homes have secured planning consent from the District Council for their development on Sandean Road. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try and try again!

Everybody apart from the great and the good on the District Council can see this development is on the wrong side of Chipping Bonhunt. The promise of a relief road (which doesn’t run all the way round the south of the town) is rather hollow as it appears the first section of road that it links to is not built to the right standard and won’t cope with the traffic that will eventually be fed onto it!
