Application for 24 dwellings at Bridgerule near Holsworthy receives numerous objections, including our own

We’ve submitted an objection to Torridge District Council concerning an application to build 24 houses at Canal Rise, Bridgerule. The application lacks several necessary assessments and surveys, including heritage, arboricultural, agricultural land classification, access and drainage, without which the proposal cannot demonstrate compliance with up-to-date policies. https://www.holsworthy-today.co.uk/news/bridgerule-housing-development-proposal-met-with-local-objections-865622
