How the Priory should look

How the Priory use to look
A lovely picture by Stephen Dowan showing the Priory in all its glory. Such a shame the current owners feel it so necessary to destroy the one and only tourist attraction in the village. Is there anything that can be done to clean up the frontage of the priory, remove all the scafolding etc before the summer season starts? Im sure the businesses in St Osyth would appreciate all the help they can get, so having an attraction people might actually want to visit, surely must be to the benefit of the village.

how the Bury use to look
All ways look on the bright
A move to control any new form of fence, wall, gate or enclosure on land at the front of a village's ancient priory has been given the permanent go-ahead. The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has confirmed Tendring District Council's (TDC) request for a special planning restriction to be placed on The Bury, at St. Osyth. The aim of the order is to prevent the erection of any fence, wall, gate or enclosure on the site without the Council's specific permission.
Cllr Iris Johnson, Portfolio Holder for Planning at TDC, said she was delighted that the Council had been supported over this issue. "The Secretary of State fully accepted the Council's case that The Bury was of such historic importance that it fully deserved the special planning control being asked for," she said. The new order means that the owners of The Bury will need to apply for planning permission to put up any new fence wall or gate on the land.
They will also require consent to materially alter or replace the existing post and wire fence and five bar gate on the land. TDC issued a temporary order in December 2007 in a bid to protect the special historic and architectural open character of this area of St Osyth. The land is within the village's Conservation Area and next to the historic priory. The Secretary of State was then consulted and the owners and occupiers of the site had the right to object. The decision to confirm the order has now been made.
Daren,yes thats how it
Daren,
yes thats how it should look, but I don't think William Hills would give you odds that nothing will be done until the enablement plan is given the go ahead - and it will be if you read the wording "planning permission will be granted" not may or possibly "WILL". So good luck to everyone in Daltes Lane and Spring Road. Also the owners do not care about anybody in the village - an example of this is the strange times that the illegal gates are opened. Many times on a Saturday I've driven past and they have not been opened. Maybe its about time those with businesses who the owners visit should say enough is enough and tell them that their custom is not welcome any more. Maybe someone can name and shame these businesses so that if the owners aren't banned villagers can vote with their feet and take their custom elsewhere.
