Our Solicitors continue to correspond with the NFNPA on the subject of the need for both an AA and an EIA – a letter dated 6 June from the NFNPA is here and our Solicitors’ reply dated 11 July is here.  We maintain that both Assessments should be carried out in order to provide maximum protection for Latchmore Brook and its surroundings.  The issue has not yet been resolved.

The letter from Buxtons also refers to another, similar “restoration” at North Slufters, which has just been approved without, apparently, any environmental assessments being required, a decision which we challenge.
