Stables Application Withdrawn
The planning application for commercial stables at UBF has been withdrawn. Although an application for a smaller stables and a more domestic arrangement is rumoured, this has not yet been submitted. There were approximately 19 objections to the larger stable development, despite the fact that CANINE did not object or encourage its supporters to object. We wait with interest to see the next move and the fate of UBF. Watch this space.

The planning application for stables at UBF remains live. MFH have been granted ‘temporary planning permission’ with conditions, to remain at Mountain Ash, Priddy Road, Green Ore, which is actually only a mile up the road from UBF and just 3 metres outside the Priddy Parish Boundary. However, it is not next to the species rich SSSi and the precious Priddy Mineries and is not downwind for noise and smells for the majority of the local residents, most of whom can still hear the hounds regularly. |

Happy New Year to all the CANINE supporters and visitors to this site.
Just before Christmas we learned that the application for UBF has nothing to do with the hunt and that the fact that the plans have MFH written all over them is an error. This was also the reason that there was not a representative of MFH at the Priddy Parish Council meeting on Dec 22nd.
On January 6th 2011 we see the headlines we have been hoping for
“Hunt Scraps its plans to build new kennels”
Is this the Priddy application?

An extra meeting of Priddy Parish Council was held on December 22nd 2010. The main purpose was to discuss and for the village councillors to take a vote on the Underbarrow Farm application. The hunt was invited to the meeting to air its point of view. The meeting attracted a number of speakers from the public who mostly offered objections to the proposal. There was no representative from the hunt, nor any statement or information offered from them. None of the councillors declared an interest of any sort in the matter and after some discussion they voted.

A planning Application for UNDERBARROW FARM IN PRIDDY, has been lodged with Mendip District Council, on October 21st 2010. The application is yet to be registered and assigned a planning officer. The Proposal is for new Equestrian Buildings on the site and to lift the Agricultural tie from the bungalow. CANINE is looking at the implications of this development and consulting its planning experts. Watch this space.
The Mountain Ash Planning Application is now in the hands of Priddy Parish Council. The deadline for objections/support has been extended until November 4th 2010. Priddy Parish Council has a meeting the night before at 8pm, on November 3rd, so anyone wishing to comment on the plans is encouraged to be at that meeting.

The Hunt’s ‘temporary’ Planning Application for Mountain Ash Farm, Priddy has been causing a few issues. The site actually lies TWO METRES outside the Priddy Parish Boundary and was initially thought to be under the jurisdiction of Chewton parish Council. In fact it is St Cuthbert’s Parish. Objectors and supporters of the application have until October 22nd to lodge their comments with Mendip District Council. Priddy Parish Council is now a consultee on the application and has pledged to hold an extra meeting to discuss the application when it is in possession of the plans. As yet no one has even seen the plans, so more delays may ensue. When a date is finalised we will post it on this website. The controversial planning application for Splot at Chewton Mendip misses the October 20th Planning Committee date, reputedly due to pressures of work at the planning office. The next meeting date is November 10th, and then there is just one more before Christmas. There is still no firm information about the fate of the flesh house, where dead farm animals are ‘processed’ before being fed to the hounds. The ‘Stop Chewton Hunt Kennels’ campaign states: ‘the application does not include the Flesh House and there are strong rumours it is moving to Chewton Mendip, located in a shed at the rear of Uphill's workshops but this has not been confirmed by the Hunt.” Keep up to date with the Chewton Campaign here: www.stopchewtonkennels.co.uk |

LATEST END September 2010 |
|
The MFH’s Chewton Application misses the Sept 29th Planning Committee Meeting date and looks unlikely to make the next Planning Committee meeting on October 20th.
In the meantime it seems that they have been busy. Mendip Farmers’ Hunt has submitted a SECOND planning application to MDC for a change of use at the new site on Wells Road (a farm called Mountain Ash). Change of use from just Stables to Stables and Kennels, plus a temporary mobile home. All indications are that this is a temporary move, but who knows. The application was filed on 19th August, validated on 27th August and is currently being registered. It will be on the Mendip District Council website imminently, ref: 2010/2106. Watch this space. |

The Chewton Planning Application misses the September 8th Planning Committee meeting at Mendip District Council. It also looks unlikely to meet the September 29th meeting. Rumours suggest that the hunt is confident to get the application approved, but they have another battle with another army of local residents on their hands. They were confident about Priddy!
The hounds and horses settle at their new ‘temporary’ accommodation in Priddy and the village watches and waits. Temporary apparently means ‘up to TWELVE MONTHS’. The prevailing wind blows out towards the main road and away from many residents. How the new residents, temporary or otherwise, are received by the ‘new neighbours’ remains to be seen. The fate of the flesh house is currently unclear, although as usual there are many rumours.

|
The hunt horses and the whole pack of hounds move to a new site half way between the Hunters Lodge Inn in Priddy and the main Wells to Bristol Road. Hounds and horses are seen exercising regularly on the Wells Road, Priddy, in the early morning.
|
|
Rumours abound as usual. The ‘Stop Chewton Hunt Kennels’ campaign continues behind the scenes. Mendip District Council requests more information from the hunt and the date for the expected planning meeting comes and goes. Work at the Splott site appears to be on hold. All is apparently quiet.
Underbarrow Farm in Priddy remains beautiful, quiet and the perfect neighbour for the nature reserve next door.
