The planning application that was submitted in the Autumn had a decision date of March.
However, due to the high number of responses that the council received and need to process and an objection from Natural England the process is still ongoing.
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who has supported our application process your comments are very important in informing the council of the need of HOAC and the importance of HOAC to the local community.
We now must wait for the councils decision, which we hope will be in the next month or two.
Whilst we await news on a potential new site we have decided to start operating again all-be-it remotely.
We will be shortly setting up a program where we can go into schools to offer some activities. This will not replicate everything that HOAC did, but may offer limited opportunities to those who cannot access outdoor education and activity elsewhere
We will also be offering first aid training to both schools and early years providers as well as local businesses and the local community
We are also working to try and find a location where we can offer some holiday courses this summer.
None of the above is a replacement for HOAC, but will offer some short term benefit to the local community who are missing out on valuable opportunities.
Please keep an eye on our website and social media for updates.
