Christmas Meats
From Lacey Green History
Hallmark April 1994. Editors Note. The Christmas Meats Site (formerly Poultry Packers) has been an irritant to Lower Loosley Row residents for 30 odd years. If it is moving to a satisfactory conclusion, it only highlights the slowness of local government. So we can thank both Councillor Jean Gabittas and The Residents Assocation, but not forgetting the effort of past councillors, the late Jean Hart, Geoffrey Spear and Harry Church.
Hallmark July 1994. From The Residents Association report :-
The saga of the Christmas Meats facility (10 Acre Site) continues. We understand that the Planning Officers of the District Council have been ‘minded to approve’ the latest plans which, nevertheless, – still have to be sent to the Secretary of State for the Environment for approval, because of possible contravention of guidelines for Greenbelt Areas. There is a general feeling that this plan (for 25 houses) will eventually be approved both by the Department and the District Council, but the Developers have wisely kept the original application (which has approval) for 22 houses.
