ONCE again Gladman is making an attempt to ruin our beautiful Slad valley by appealing yet again to the planning inspector’s decision to prevent building here.

Yes, the number of houses to be built has been reduced, but the landscape and wildlife of the valley would still be desecrated.

How many times do we have to fight for our right to live, work and encourage visitors to visit this precious, irreplaceable landscape?

Once any permission is given to build here it can only be a precedent for further devastation to our heritage.

Please let us continue to support the action groups doing all they can to prevent these developers invading this tranquil valley.
