Lugano wanted to build 280 houses on the southern boundary of Darras Hall and Banks proposed up to 500 houses behind Ridgely Drive and Cheviot View. These unwanted proposals stimulated activists and concerned residents to organise opposition and the Ponteland Greenbelt Group was formed. Ponteland is a unique, well-defined settlement and an aspirational place to live for many who work on Tyneside, and we have a stake in looking after this special environment. The Green Belt was formed to prevent creeping urbanisation and we do not want it trashed by developers who want to make a big profit. Members of the group prepared detailed and comprehensive objections and both the planners and the councillors at County Hall voted to refuse Lugano’s plans in October 2013. They have Three members of the existing group are standing down, until the end of April to appeal. Banks have not yet submitted creating three vacancies. Anyone wishing to be nominated for one plans. of these vacancies should contact us via the website: Committee members give their time and talents freely but there are www.pontelandgreenbelt.co.uk costs for printing, advertising, legal advice etc, and we depend on supporters for financial help and their commitment to the cause.
