I objected - it at least gives an oppertunity to tell outsiders about BWs machinations!

This is seriously bad news. There's also the heritage factor to consider. Would you like to put in an objection? Subject: FW: Marsworth yard to be sold and houses built - planning emergency object by 25th November Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:32:09 +0000 Dear all, Apologies for the mass mailing but I know that all of you have boated to and through Marsworth. By accident I found out that the Marsworth yard is being sold and all buildings on the site demolished to build 14 houses. No idea where the large numbers of BW staff currently working out of the building are supposed to go. Also, and more importantly, from the plans it looks like we would lose the water, elsan and rubbish facilities for boaters with the nearest alternative being Cowroast (17 locks away) or the very inadequate Leighton Buzzard ( another lot of locks and distance away). Think as many people as poss need to be mobilised to stop this. Trouble is, it's not been publicised much and objections need to be in the day after tomorrow i.e. 25th November. Really bad news for our heritage and our canal users, particularly boaters of all kinds who will lose water, elsan and rubbish facilities! Please tell everyone and get your objections in. Link to planning app is below. Kind regards, Debbi Figueiredo http://eplanning. aylesburyvaledc. gov.uk/td. ..searchform. aspx then enter application references 09/01945/APP and 09/01946/ACD.
