Repurposing of Manor Farm Dairy - Feedback

Villager thoughts and ideas for the redundant dairy farmyard in Hayden Lane. Warnford

There have been two well attended site visits to the redundant dairy and farmyard to look at the buildings and to view the extent of the site. I have already some very useful feedback from the two meetings and I am grateful for the suggestions that have been made. If you have not written to me and have observations and ideas about the re-purposing of the site I would welcome your feedback - my email address is andrew@gawthorpeestates.co.uk.

My next step is to take advice from a highway engineer to better understand how the site can be accessed safely to accommodate new users. Once I have that advice I will then ask a planning consultant to consider the suggestions made during this consultation and the range of uses that would be compatible with the characteristics and setting of the site. This work will inform the possibility of making a pre-application to the South Downs National Park planning authority to seek their formal view on any proposals.

I would welcome feedback from everybody that attended the site meetings and also from the wider village community so as to help inform the process - my email address is andrew@gawthorpeestates.co.uk. I plan to present a summary of initial thoughts and suggestions to the community before making a pre-applications. If you have not attended a site meeting yet and would like to do so please email me and I will arrange to meet you.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries.
