The church commissioners advised the parish council in Spring 2022 that they would be able to share revised proposals for development at Roughmoor Lane, probably including the brownfield buildings, by the summer of 2022. They subsequently advised that they would not be able to do so before January 2023 & advice was finally received in February 2023. Details of their proposals and subsequent responses by the village are made available here.
