LARGE MECHANICAL
DIGGER SEEN AT MITCHLEY HILL FIELD BELOW THE WOODS
This caused
some alarm among residents but investigations by RRA Chairman Brian Longman
eventually established that the digger belonged to Croydon Council and was
there to clear dead wood from their piece of woodland behind Holmwood Avenue

INFORMATION
on this Planning Application as at 12/12/07:
Land off Lower Barn Road (adjacent The Parade Nos 108/110), Purley (Application No 07/03613/P): Erection of 1 two storey
building with accommodation in the roofspace comprising a total of 10, two
bedroom flats; formation of access road and provision of associated parking,
9 Spaces plus 1 disabled space (amended description from 12 flats and 12 car
parking spaces).
At the meeting on 15 November, the Council's Planning Committee
unanimously rejected this application.
RRA Chairman Brian Longman addressed the meeting and objected on behalf of
the RRA and Councillor Lynne Hale also spoke and objected.
On 19 November, the owners, Taylor Wimpey, did commence some tree felling on
site despite the planning application being refused. Many residents and the
RRA, contacted the Council about this. This complete disrespect by Taylor
Wimpey for both the environment and nature conservation, did receive
attention at the highest level with senior Council Officers and Councillors,
particularly the Planning Committee Councillors. Councillor Lynne Hale did
also raise a question, about the destruction of these trees at the full
Council meeting on 3 December 2007.

THE RIDDLESDOWN RECORDER
The magazine of the Association
This comes out twice a year in April and October and is distributed to
about 1350 households.
Items for inclusion should be submitted to the Editor,
Nick Bygrave (44 Riddlesdown Avenue, Purley CR8 1JJ),
at the very latest by the end of February for the April issue and the end of August
for the October issue - the earlier the

All items will be considered for the magazine but are always subject to
availability of space and suitability of content.
Free inclusion in the
magazine's Community Pages of short pieces (new ones required for each
issue, please) about local associations, activities and events is offered,
but please get them in as early as possible.
Advertisements in The Riddlesdown Recorder
We have a limited space available for paid advertising and you
are invited to send in designs, or copy from which we can, if you wish, produce
designs to your requirements. Adverts once accepted will continue to be
inserted in the magazine until we are instructed otherwise (unless lack of
space for editorial material forces us to omit them from particular issues).
Local businesses or individuals take precedence over any outside the RRA
area in the event of conflict for space.
