I am Dave Parham, and this is our Save Our Island website.
Save Our Island has been working on behalf of the residents of Hayling Island since January 2017, when a joint working group was set up by Havant Borough Council (HBC) to specifically work on the Infrastructure Plan for Hayling Island.
Save Our Island – as a non-political group – is working with all local Resident Groups, including those in Langstone and Havant, to stand up for the residents of Hayling Island in all aspects relating to maintaining a sustainable infrastructure essential to the economic future of our Island.
Save Our Island is currently a key participant, with the Hayling Residents’ Association, and Save Rook Farm, fighting the Gladman/Barratt application APP/21/01434 for 300 homes at Rook Farm on St Mary’s Road. We are involved as a Group 6 Party as Havant Borough Council have chosen not to defend the Appeal made to the Secretary of State against their Non-Determination. As a group we have been working flat out for over a month to prepare what we are certain is a very strong case.
We have been advised by an excellent legal team of Barristers and King’s Counsel, and they will be presenting our case at the upcoming Public Inquiry to be held at:
Hayling Island Sailing Club
Starting at 10am on 23 June (3 days Tue/Wed/Thu)
and 30 June (3 days Tue/Wed/Thu)
The Inquiry is open to the public, and it will be live streamed via a link on the
HBC website https://www.havant.gov.uk/rook-farm-planning-appeal-public-inquiry
More information on the Inquiry and on how to donate can be found on:
