An email has been sent to residents and businesses in Highgate over a planning application:-
“The planning department are going to raise two different planning applications; one for the Abattoir Sheep holding expansion and the other for the Chicken plant in Bissell Street. Planning has given no notice probably so they can rail-road the two issues through. Can I ask all of you to please raise your issues today and pass them to the planning committee?
The meeting is at 11.00 Thursday, 10th February – attendance is not required. So Please Act Now.”
