I have been informed this evening that local residents have received letters regarding a proposed development of 12 residential dwellings on the site of the former City of Wolverhampton College Horticulture Centre along the Compton Road adjacent to Compton Park.
A public exhibition is to be held on Tuesday 19th November 2013 between 2pm and 8pm at City of Wolverhampton College Paget Road Campus.
The letter advises that a planning application will be submitted during November and Wolverhampton City Council will undertake a formal consultation process seeking views regarding the proposals.
If you cannot attend the "exhibition" but would like further information, residents have been advised to contact rosed@wolvcoll.ac.uk.
There is obvious concern being already aired that this will affect the area of Smestow Valley LNR in the vicinity of the Barleyfield. To this end, anyone with strong views can contact me at smestowsightings@gmail.com. Please ensure that you also involve yourselves directly in the consultation process.
I apologise for the short notice regarding this matter. Quite a few of us did ask for assurances following rumours earlier in the year. It's just a shame that those rumours have proved to be true and now residents have been given very little notice to act. I hope as many people as possible can make it on Tuesday to look at the proposals and get involved in the consultation process.
Thank you
