Certificate of Lawful use Update

The Hampshire Microlight Club as applied for a certificate of lawful use for Colemore Common Airfield. The impending creation of a "Southdown’s National Park" prompted the club to collect club records and apply for a certificate.

This is not planning permission! It is a certificate that anyone may apply for when land has been used for a purpose other than intended for over 10 years to protect the right of continued use.

The Hampshire Microlight Club has been resident at the field for 20 years from Summer 1988! With quiet consideration for our neighbors we have been operating without receiving any recorded complaints, we think you will agree that’s a considerable record. In fact it is practical testament to the “Hampshire Microlight Club Operational Policy”, this policy is in support of minimising any impact on the local community and has proven to be a success.

This notice is simply to offer to listern to any objections and concerns directly, and give you the oportunty to ask questions, so that you may make up your own mind.

If you are worried by what you have been told and want to hear for yourself, I will be delighted to take your call or if you simply want to make your own point.

I look forward to speaking to you.
