Spring 2010 Issn 0965-8912 DORE to DOOR DORE VILLAGE SOCIETY No. 97 SPRING 2010 ISSN 0965-8912 Kings Croft Fence Shock A great deal of anger has been expressed by local residents about the new fence that has been suddenly erected on the Kings Croft Playing Field. The 2m high weldmesh fence has been erected by the Dore Primary School in the full knowledge that the Dore Village Society had applied to have the area registered as a new village green. The most shocking aspect of the new enclosure is the gate that has been erected across the footpath from Vicarage Lane which has been in public use for over 40years. The head teacher of the Primary School knew about the Village Green application and indeed went ahead with the fence after the Council had placed notices on the site informing everyone that an application had been made for the new Village Green. The Planning Department has decided that the 2m high gate onto Vicarage Lane is not “adjacent to the highway” and Dore children enjoying the Punch and Judy Show at the Victory Fete held on Dore therefore does not require planning cricket ground in 1945. Do you recognise any of these faces? Would we be allowed to permission. ( The remainder of the fence is take such a picture today? also considered to be “permitted development” ).
