As many villagers are aware, there have been ongoing discussions with Alpine Group and Penchard for some time regarding their move from Manor Farm, Abbotts Ann to new premises.
We are hopefully moving towards a potential solution. This involves the removal of the existing industrial uses and replacement by a modest amount of residential development which recognises the sites rural location whilst is sufficient to fund the necessary relocation.
Monxton Parish Council has received a request from Alpine to share their evolving thoughts, and seek comments on key issues and approach at the next Parish Council meeting on the 10th April at the village hall (starts at 7.30pm), which has been accepted. At this stage the discussion is likely to focus on issues of principle rather than scheme detail.
We, therefore, invite all villagers to attend this meeting to hear first-hand from the Alpine team and ask any questions regarding their plans.
Monxton Parish Council will be supporting the proposal as it currently stands, however, we are very interested in the views of villagers especially those most affected and we urge you to attend the meeting.

Chairman
Monxton Parish Council
