Following advice from their legal team the Save Honey Hill group issued the following update on the 17th May. Despite the end results Horningsea really owes the hard working team thanks! The Save Honey Hill group held Anglian Water to account, and will continue to do so, on access, construction, design, and other aspects of the project that will impact Horningsea.
“As you will have undoubtedly seen the Save Honey Hill group received the Secretary of State’s response to our Pre-Action Letter and on the advice of our legal team we have concluded that there is little point in pursuing a JR any further incurring costs which might lead to a negligible outcome.
We will now spend the next few weeks winding things down from a financial point of view. We will await the invoices from our solicitors and barristers and settle our accounts forthwith.
We would like to assure you that the Save Honey Hill team will continue its duty as per our constitution to engage with Anglian Water, our Parish Councils and all other stakeholders and do our best to ensure that mitigating the detrimental effects of this project on our communities is at the forefront of their minds at all times.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support over the last five years, without it we may not have won the argument and had the agreement and support of the Planning Inspectorate in its recommendation to refuse the application.”
