Alternative Planning Application

Ryebank Fields Community Group is working with professional planning consultants on an Alternative Planning Application (APA) to retain Ryebank Fields as a community woodland and meadow. We have a long term plan to manage and care for the land by working with advisory organisations and volunteers from the community. Preserving, maintaining and enhancing the existing naturally evolving biodiversity and habitat is the core principle of our vision. The Alternative Planning Application will be submitted by Ryebank Fields Community Group with the full support of all the other organisations involved in the Save Ryebank Fields campaign, they are:

Friends of Ryebank Fields, Friends of Longford Park, Women of Ryebank Fields, Trafford Ryebank Residents Association and Chorlton Craftivists.
