Save The Stables!

After securing the necessary conditions at the Development Control Committee hearing on 1 August we are disappointed that the Developers, Abbey Homes have decided to submit a CLOPUD application requesting that Milton Keynes Council confirms that carrying out the development without complying with condition 14 (the requirement for a deed of easement) will be lawful.

We hope and trust that Councillors will continue to uphold their previous commitment to safeguarding The Stables. If you are able to attend the meeting, your support would be most welcome. The committee meets on Thursday 9 January at 7pm in the Council Chamber, Civic, 1 Saxon Gate East, Milton Keynes, MK9 3EJ.

Many thanks for your continued interest and support and best wishes for 2020 from everyone at The Stables.

We are pleased that last night Milton Keynes Council’s Development Control Committee decided that planning permission for new housing on our western boundary would be subject to a deed of easement, despite the site being carved up.

Councillors on the committee talked about the value of The Stables to Milton Keynes and their desire to protect us into the future. The chair stated that the public attendance was unprecedented with over 200 supporters squeezing into the public gallery in a statement of solidarity. Support was also demonstrated through 875 letters of objection and a petition of more than 22,000 signatures.

Members of the committee agreed that there remained a risk that residents would be subject to noise from the music venue or its site and insisted that the conditions be imposed on the new application.

Thank you for all of your support.

Hello from The Stables!

We have learnt that Planning Officers at Milton Keynes Council are recommending that the latest planning application by Abbey Homes to build houses on our western boundary should be approved - without the need for a Deed of Easement to be included - thus removing a vital legal protection that would help to protect the venue's long-term future from noise complaints.

Please read our latest update by following the link below and if you are able to do so, attend the next meeting of the Council's Development Control Committee where the Officers' recommendation will be considered. The meeting, which is open to the public, takes place on Thursday 1 August at 7pm at the Civic Offices, 1 Saxon Gate, Milton Keynes, MK9 3EJ. Please come along and demonstrate to the Councillors the strength of local, regional and national feeling opposing the latest housing plans.

Many thanks again for your support.
