00:00So, Greg, we're standing here in front of Warmead and it's a bit of a home site really, it's all shocking.
00:07So, what's your feeling about how we move forward for the people of Holmen?
00:11Well, this site has been derelict now for so many years.
00:15It really needs to be built and to provide the homes that we need in this area.
00:20Now, I've written to Homes England, who own the site.
00:23They bought it through a fund from the last government.
00:26I've written to the Secretary of State and I've had no response from either.
00:29The only thing I've had is a parliamentary question which suggests that not only are they still looking to go out to market,
00:35but they might even be looking to resubmit a new planning application which will only delay this further.
00:41Now, what I'm saying is we can't have any more delays.
00:44We need to set a deadline so that whoever responsible, whether that be Homes England, whether that be Waverley as the planning authority,
00:50somebody needs to take charge and actually get this moving because the residents of Farnham have put up with this for far too long.
00:57And are you giving them a deadline on this before you start kicking up more of a fuss about it?
01:02Well, what I want to know is who is responsible.
01:04And I want to know who is responsible and who's going to take charge of this.
01:07And I'm going to say that that's a matter of months, if not weeks.
01:10And if they don't, then I'm going to be raising this as the highest point I can within government
01:14because somebody has to take charge because we can't carry on like this.
