Orchard Terrace new build on hold

About four years ago, in summer 2008, the county council planted a dinky little hedge in the field at the back of Orchard Terrace. Fast forward a few years and the county teamed up with a developer to build some social housing and some market value housing on the land, which is outside the village envelope so would not usually get planning permission for commercial housing. 

 There was then a disagreement as to how much the developer should pay the district council for a small strip of land to enable access to the new development from Orchard Terrace. The District thought £20k was about right, and I'm inclined to agree. Any way, the whole development is now on a more general hold at the county end.
