- Why you object to the proposed disposal of public parkland.
- How the proposed occupation of the site could affect your use and enjoyment of Walpole Park.
- Any concerns about public access, the park's historic setting, landscape or environmental value.
- Any questions you have about the extent of the land, the proposed lease or the information available to the public.
Refer to relevant facts and documents where possible. You do not need to agree with anyone else's wording, and you should not include claims you cannot substantiate. HOWEVER, if you would like to see a template response, please click the following button:

What happens next?
Under Section 123(2A), the Council must consider objections made to the proposed disposal before proceeding. The statutory notice process is separate from the planning application process.
Residents who wish to comment on a planning application should also follow the relevant planning consultation arrangements when available. The Council's September 2026 Cabinet decision records that the proposed lease was agreed in principle, subject to planning permission, with a further Cabinet report and final decision still to follow.
