Following the decision by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government not to call in the Mountfield decision (29 December 2016) an appeal was made by a member of ConserveBridge against this decision. The Secretary of State has now responded to a representation saying that the decision will not be reconsidered and the decision by Canterbury City Council thus stands. Further correspondence on Mountfield should be sent not to the Secretary of State but to the Government Legal Department, One Kemble Street, London WC2B 4TS, email Prachi.Kanse@governmentlegal.gov.uk
