Extent of Interest

When this application was submitted three years ago I, as the previous Chairman of Sharnford Parish Council together with the previous Chairman of Wigston Parva Parish Meeting submitted the objection to this application on behalf of Sharnford Parish Council. The current proposal is substantially different to the original, so I am now able to view this application with an open mind.
