The trigger for this unwelcome move is not clear as the PCC has been given at least three reasons for the Diocese decision.  The property developer purchasing the option is responsible for defining a scheme and taking it through the statutory planning process. The Diocese envisages the site being developed into an industrial and logistics park. 

The PCC has been very robust in its response to Peterborough and surrounding communities have joined the protest against this inappropriate and short-sighted proposal.

The PCC has joined other local groups to campaign against this hugely inappropriate and environmentally damaging development and will continue to hold the Diocese to account for its ill advised decision.
