FINAL CALL
RE: 94 Potters Lane, Send, Woking, GU23 7AL, Planning Application 22/P/01966
At Monday evening's Extraordinary Council Meeting, Send Parish Council will need to decide on filing the claim for 94 Potters Lane. 
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. 
While we have received enough donations to be able to instruct the solicitor/barrister to make the application for the claim, we will not be able to proceed without sufficient funds/ donations to cover the "cost cap". 
This is to cover us should we lose or not be able to proceed with the challenge due to insufficient funds at the next stage.
We have not yet reached the required level for the cost cap and we will not be able to instruct the solicitor/ barrister to file the claim as things stand.

We must have the funds by 6pm Monday 22nd July to be able to go ahead. 
Time is of the essence so please donate ASAP if you wish to see this claim filed. 
Please see details of how to donate over the page…

Please turn over...

Fundraising
For stage 1: A total of £15,000 will need to be raised by 6 pm 22nd July for the Parish Council to be able to proceed in filing the claim. An initial amount of £4,000 by the Full Council meeting on the 15th July to pay the cost of having a Barrister make the application to the Court and a Statement of Case. 

A total of £15,000 by the 22nd July is achievable if 150 residents contribute £100, or 300 residents contribute £50 each.
This is a guide. Any amount large or small is welcome!

For stage 2: A further round of fundraising would be required to raise approximately £20,000 if the matter goes to a hearing (which would likely to heard in the autumn). This enables us more time to fundraise for the second stage.

The Parish Council, Send Village Planning Appeals Fund, is to provide resources to enable the Parish Council to obtain legal or other professional advice and pursue action relating to planning matters impacting the Village. The immediate priority for the fund is to provide resources to pursue a challenge to GBC’s grant of planning permission for 94 Potters Lane, Application 22/P/01966. 
Finally, while we hope to be successful in bringing a challenge to this application, there is never a guarantee of success. Even if we fail, we have sent a message that we are willing to challenge the continuous granting of planning permission in Send Village.
