Did everyone see this Public Notice in the Biggleswade Chronicle dated 24th June 2011. I missed it, and it was pointed out to me by my little helper!

If you decide to make representations you should make it clear that you are an owner of the appeal site or tenant of an agricultural holding on the site and you should give the site address.

Who decided to do this and spend more of our money? I suppose as normal it was done in secret.
Very interesting Richard. I certainly don't remember hearing anything about it in any of the open meetings I've sat in. Perhaps this really is what the people of Biggleswade voted for?
