I have just heard from one of the locals here in Hillmorton that a planning application to build 6000 new houses, and that will also include industrial units, are in the process of being reviewed by Rugby Borough Council. The plan is to erect the buildings on the green area that holds all the radio masks.This will probably mean that instead of looking at lovely open countryside, we will all be looking at someone's back garden or worse still, factory units. I'm gutted!!! This lovely area will be completely destroyed. I love mooring here. Apart from the odd train, it's ever so peaceful. With a clear sky last night we saw loads of stars but with the coming of the development there will be the inevitable light pollution with the stars just fading into the background.All is not lost yet as it is still under debate whether to allow the building works to proceed. All the locals are up in arms about it and I for one am hoping and keeping everything crossed that it doesn't happen!!
