Warehouse
-
Bad
News
for
Ferriby
The
ERYC
planning
committee
has
ALLOWED
the
application
for
a
large
Amazon
warehouse
despite
vigorous
objections
by
the
Parish
Council
and
local
residents |

The
2
above
developments
demonstrate
how
difficult
is
for
local
communities
to
fight
large
wealthy
and
powerful
developers.
Many
folks
will
be
asking
“is
it
worth
objecting?
–
Does
any
one
listen?
In
the
Swanland
development
at
least
ERYC
fought
it
as
best
they
could.
In
the
Ferriby
(Amazon)
development
ERYC
planning
committee
voted
10
to
1
for
in
a
short
space
of
time,
which
suggests
that
it
was
a
foregone
conclusion.
Have
a
look
at
the
Gladman
Website
to
see
how
they
gloat
about
snatching
green
fields
sites!

comments
are
welcome
