FUNDRAISING
We have had a huge response to our appeal for funds boosted by our 2 successes (a) winning the Planning Panel (b) obtaining legal confirmation that the land is no longer in the RUDP. We need £60,000 to take the fight to the Public Inquiry. Thank you to those who have already supported us but we believe many are sitting on the fence as maybe you didn't believe we could raise such a high amount. We are well on our way to do so and can I ask that if you would like to join us in our quest to defeat the developers please send us your donations now.
Target £60,000   Donations received £55,950 as at 24th January 2012
If you have any questions or concerns please contact any member of the committee. Contact details are on our Contacts page.

Bridge Applications REFUSED AGAIN!!! Shipley Planning Panel rejected 11/03769/MAF and 11/03775/CAC.
At the Planning panel on 18th January 2012 the Councillors again refused these applications by a vote of 6 to 1. Again they stood firm against the Planning Officers who surprisingly again recommended approval.
We WON AGAIN!!! Sty Lane is no longer included in the RUDP.
Following a blunder by the Council Officers none of the outstanding housing sites in the RUDP were saved by the Council and accordingly the Council has removed Sty lane and others from the RUDP leaving these sites open to legal challenge.
We WON!!! Shipley Planning Panel has REJECTED application 11/01203/MAO.
At the Planning Panel on 23rd September 2011 the Panel Members rejected the Sty Lane application by a vote of 6 to 1. We wish to thank them for having the courage to stand against the Planning Officers who were recommending approval. 
We also wish to thank all of our supporters for their support and donations to enable us to fight this development. 
We still require additional funds to continue this fight and if you are able to add to our 'Fighting Fund' (no matter how small) please forward your cheque payable to "Greenhill Action Group" to Graham Hey, 12-16 Victoria Street, Micklethwaite BD16 3JB or Pauline Wood, 29 Greenhill Drive, Micklethwaite BD16 3HT.
