Invitation to join the Conservation Group

Meetings take place in the village hall at 2-30pm on the last Friday in the month from September to March and at 7-30pm in May June and July. In August we have a "Summer Social" and the A.G.M takes place on a Saturday morning in April. Occasional outings are also arranged. New members are always welcome and can enrol at the door.

• PRESERVE FERRING'S BEAUTY AND CHARACTER
• CHERISH THE WILDLIFE
• KEEP THE OPEN COUNTRY AROUND US
• OPPOSE IN-FILLING OF THE VILLAGE

Our monthly meetings have speakers on local wildlife and many other local and regional conservation issues.

The grounds on which Ferring Conservation Group objects to in-filling when it comments on planning applications:

Putting additional houses very close together on plots which elsewhere in the road accommodate one house and a reasonable amount of garden is not respecting the character of the area (contrary to Government guidelines and Arun's own plan)

Every additional house adds to the burden of traffic, parking, drainage and other demands which the infrastructure cannot support---increasing housing density is not sustainable in Ferring

Every extra building in Ferring destroys a little more of the open space and habitat of the wildlife, with which Ferring still abounds----the gardens are an essential part of the green environment in which we live.

We do not want to see any more "two for one" developments that threaten to change the character of Ferring for ever.

We need more members to lend more weight to the protests we make to Arun District Council. If you would like to join, or rejoin, please let us have your name and address and £1 per member.

If you are on the internet you can be kept informed by the Chairman of all applications for unwelcome development in Ferring and at all meetings current information on planning applications is also discussed, along with other issues that threaten the quality of life in the village.
