Yapton receives national praise

YAPTON has received national acclaim for opposing large-scale housing plans in the village.

Yapton’s Neighbourhood Planning Group was featured in an article in The Times, last month, after it helped to successfully fight against a 173-house development at the northern fringe of the village.

Andy Faulkner, co-chairman of the group, said: “We’re delighted to get national coverage for the group and what we are trying to achieve. The issues that affect Yapton are replicated across the country.”

The planning group is asking villagers for their views on how they would like to see the village develop. To take part, visit www.ynp.org.uk
