The second  planning application  for the post and rail fence (with gates) was refused by Croydon Council on Thursday evening 11th June. It is not known whether or not there will be an appeal. There is a time limit for an appeal which will probably run out in September, and it appears that the MoD will use this timescale to judge the success of thes arrangement. We have been advised this morning that incursive incidents have been recorded; it doesn't look good for the trial.

Fears that gliding may cease are being heightened because the Health & Safety Executive are involved. They have the power of closure should a satisfactory solution not be found.
