Save Rothley Campaign Reaches Record Number of Objections The Save Rothley team paid a visit to Charnwood Borough Council on Monday 15th December to deliver another 809 letters of objection to the development of 175 houses off Westfield Lane, Rothley (P/14/2083/2). Santa took some time off from his busy schedule to lend a hand! Local residents have now submitted 2,287 objections, I can now confirm that we have broken the record for the number of objections received to any proposed development in Charnwood. I received the following form Charnwood Borough Council this morning: Our records indicate that the highest number of objections we have received to a planning application is 2,287 (correct as at 6 January 2015). The application is: P/14/2083/2 – site for the erection of up to 175 dwellings on land off Westfield Lane, Rothley. The Save Rothley team would like to thank everyone who took the time and trouble to send their objection. The application is expected to be discussed at a Plans Committee Meeting at the end of January. saverothley@gmail.com - www.saverothley.co.uk Best wishes,
