15 New Homes Approved in Netherhay, Drimpton

With unanimous support from the Planning Committee, the application WD/D/19/001343 – Land North of 6 Netherhay Lane, Drimpton was approved this afternoon.

All of the proposed homes will be two storey apart from a semi-detached pair of bungalows to the south. All are planned to be fitted with solar panels and/or an air source heat pump. Bird and bat boxes are proposed across the site with a landscaping scheme which should encourage nature.
The site will have two 1-bed properties for two people; four 1 bed 2 person flats; five 2 bed 4 person houses; three 3 bed 5 person units and one 3 bed 6 person unit.
Parking will be off-road either alongside the relevant dwelling or off the road frontage.
The four flats would each have a private outside space, as well as a communal space.

Happy St. George’s Day!

St George’s Day in England remembers St George, England’s patron saint.
The anniversary of his death, which is on April 23rd, is seen as England’s national day.

According to legend, he was a soldier in the Roman army who killed a dragon and saved a princess.
While many Christians observe St George’s Day, it is not a UK bank holiday. St George’s Day was once celebrated as widely as Christmas but these celebrations diminished by the end of the 18th century after England had united with Scotland.
St George might be hailed as a national hero, but he was actually born more than 2,000 miles away. He is thought to have been born in Cappodocia (modern day Turkey) and to have died in Lydda (modern day Israel) in the Roman province of Palestine in AD 303.
King Edward III made him the Patron Saint of England when he formed the Order of the Garter in St. George’s name in 1350. The cult of the Saint was further advanced by King Henry V, at the battle of Agincourt in northern France.
In HIS Oxford Dictionary Of Saints, David Hugh Farmer explains that St George was adopted as patron saint in the Middle Ages by England and Catalonia, as well as by Venice, Genoa and Portugal, because he was the personification of the ideals of Christian chivalry.

Celebrate with a traditional English dinner!
