Pollsters Only - Bottisham Retirement Village Petition

This form is for designated "door knockers" to download only. Selected resident door knockers will be visiting homes around Bottisham village this over the next couple of days (15th March - 18th March inclusive) to seek your support to oppose the recently approved Retirement Village planning application. These residents have volunteered to help the community and Bottisham Parish Council. They will kindly and respectfully ask for your support but you are under no obligation to support this petition. If you have any concerns or questions over this petition please email: clerk@bottisham-pc.gov.uk

After being refused by East Cambridgeshire District Council (ECDC), Planning Inspector (PI) and Secretary of State permission has now been granted by a different / second Planning Inspector to build a retirement village of 170 homes with associated C3 homes on green belt land in Bottisham this includes up to 50 affordable homes. This is due to be located on the land behind Beechwood Avenue (backing onto Cedar Walk, The Rowans with entrance off High Street. This will have a huge and we believe detrimental impact on the village; green belt land & countryside, doctors (capacity), facilities and traffic.

Bottisham Parish Council, ECDC and many residents are extremely disappointed at the outcome of the Appeal decision to allow the Retirement Village in Bottisham and remains vehemently opposed to the proposal. This petition will go to East Cambridgeshire District Council and the Secretary of State, Rt Hon, Michael Gove for Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and Lee Rowley, Minister for Housing, Planning and Building Safety.
