Fulford Planning Inquiry

1 January 2006

News has just come through that there will be a Public Inquiry into the planning application to build c.500 houses and access roads on the battlefield of Fulford (1066.) The Battlefields Trust, alongside the Fulford Battlefield Society will make representations to the Inspector of the Inquiry. This important battlefield, on the edge of York is still largely unspoilt, unlike the nearby and better known battlefield of Stamford Bridge, which was lost to housing in the 1970s-1990s. Anyone wishing to register their concerns and objections should write to:

FAO Mrs Hazel Conibere,
The Planning Inspectorate,
3/17 Eagle Wing,
Temple Quay House,
2 The Square,
Bristol BS1 6PN.

The ref number is 01/01315/OUT
