Clive Jones, MP raises concern over development with Thames Water
Wokingham MP Clive Jones raises parish concerns over new development and sewage overload likely to result from this. Asks CEO of Thames Water to review their response to Vistry and WBC Planners in respect to development by Vistry on land west of Trowes Lane, Swallowfield.
At his recent surgery in Swallowfield, we explained to Clive the concerns we have about unsustainable development taking place in Swallowfield. In particular we discussed the current development just starting West of Trowes Lane (see application 230422), but also raised the applications under review East of Trowes Lane (application 252430) Sun Lane, Riseley (application 260774).
We are very pleased that Clive has clearly listened to and understood our concerns and has sent the attached letter to the CEO of Thames Water, asking him to review their agreement to consider condition 8 of the Planning Inspector’s appeal decision as met.
