Like many Lancastrians, I was shocked when I learned that a developer has submitted an application to build 115 houses on Galgate’s Green Barrier. Not only would this development see the loss of biodiversity in Galgate, it would also see housing built on land which floods and serve to worsen traffic problems in the village.

I’ve therefore written to Lancaster City Council’s Planning Committee, imploring them to reject this application. I will be working alongside Parish Councillor Lisa Corkerry and other residents of Galgate to ensure these houses do not get built.

I encourage you to object to this application by entering the Ref. 22/00342/FUL here: https://planning.lancaster.gov.uk/online-applications/
