Please see the latest update from the potential purchaser of the Estate on the instagram link attached

Not really sure what the potential purchaser has in mind because it seems to be changing and morphing into a different being.
Pleased to see they are at least talking to planners who will obviously be pointing out issues like the 1066 Path, Public Footpaths and Rights of way. Then of course there are planning issues to deal with along with health & safety, transport policy, highways, Police, Water & Sewerage, Ecology etc etc

Making a 500 acre estate totally private would involve an awful lot of work and money before it even opened to members to ensure that the undesirable non-members cannot gain access.
Talking about numbers in the tens of thousands is starting to make Greystoke sound like a cuddly teddy bear

Anyway, have a look and comment

Dear all - this page is a forum for members to express their views on any new proposals that may be made for the estate whether they be positive or negative. We live in a democracy and everybody is entitled to their own view.

As we are all aware from previous experience vigorous examination of any proposal is absolutely necessary and welcome. If one makes a comment or statement, either positive or negative, this must be subject to scrutiny from all.

Personal attacks are not welcome nor are 'anonymous' posts - we are all in this together so if you have a view express it freely but put your name to it. Blocking comments is also unwelcome as this shuts down debate but we would ask that such debate is fair, balanced and does not descend into a slanging match.

We all want the best for the Normanhurst Estate so all opportunities should be welcomed with positivity but also questioned and not simply accepted. We also accept that some members are more social media savvy than others so please be courteous and understanding of all.

After what has been a tumultuous year we hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and look forward with positivity to 2024.

Normanhurst has been saved for now….

Well done everybody

So the agenda for the Planning Committee meeting in the 7th September has been published on the Rother Council website.
We are extremely pleased to see that Rother Planners are recommending the application be REFUSED. Now we await the Council Planning Committee Members decision and hope they will take the planners advice.
However if they do agree with the planners and turn down the application we can all be assured that Greystoke and their cabale will appeal.
The fight will continue

Last couple of days to get your responses in to Greystokes comments - you can simply say you don’t agree with any rebuttal of your original objection. Don’t forget all the ‘experts’ are being paid for their responses, we are doing it because we actually care.

The fight continues - thanks to Will Humphries at The Times for this article
