David Jones has told me that the Maisemore Parish Council email list is broken and asked me to try to fix it.
As I try to resolve this, you may get a number of test messages. I will try to ensure that these are identified as tests, but you do not need to do anything about them - just delete them when it's convenient for you to do so.

This application is going to Planning Committee next Tuesday - 15 March 2022 - with an officer recommendation for APPROVAL
Apart from Maisemore Parish Council's extensive list of objections, only six residents submitted objections and one person supported the application.
None of the other statutory consultees objected - as usual Severn Trent is ignoring the problems we have with surcharging of the combined drainage system in Maisemore.
If permitted and built, this will mean the main settlement of Maisemore will have increased in size by 49% since 2011, yet we have no increase in facilities apart from a lot of money being directed - without consulting the village - at Maisemore Village Hall. Apart from that and the advent of Gigaclear, there appears to be no demonstrable improvement in any of the "Services" which combine to make Maisemore a "Service Village" and thus suitable for development.
In fact with The Rising Sun having closed, the church's future looking dubious and Maisemore Village Hall's future looking rocky (following resignation of half the committee running it), there is now significant cause for concern.

22/00167/FUL | Erection of 2 No. additional poultry houses with air scrubbing units and associated infrastructure on established poultry farm (resubmission of 21/00870/FUL) | Astmans Farm Poultry Unit Maisemore Gloucester Gloucestershire GL2 8HP
This is the resubmission of the Chicken Farm extension for which the original application (21/00870/FUL) was recently withdrawn.
The only apparent change is the lengthening of the buildings by 7.0m to accommodate air scrubbers being requested by the EA - otherwise the schemes appear to be identical - new scheme on left:
Please note that if you were one of the thirty objectors to the original extension scheme, you should resubmit your thoughts on this new scheme.
The matter will be discussed at the next MPC meeting on Monday 14 March 2022 at 7.30pm in the village hall.

FROM THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY REGARDING THE CHICKEN SHEDS:
Astmans Farm Poultry Unit - Public Consultation of Application to vary the Environmental Permit
Application ref: EPR/UP3330RL/V003
Existing permit
The existing Environmental Permit, reference EPR/UP3330RL, allows the Operator to house 100,000 broiler birds in two poultry houses, and operate a biomass boiler with a thermal rated input not exceeding 1.071 MWth, for site heating requirements.
Background
On 23/6/21 the Operator of Astmans Farm Poultry Unit submitted an application to the Environment Agency to vary an existing environmental permit. The application was then duly made on 15/1/22 which means our permitting officers now have sufficient information to commence a full determination of the application, ie make a thorough assessment of the information provided in the application to decide whether or not we would be able to grant the variation.
The application is to install two additional poultry houses at the site which will allow the Operator to increase broiler bird places to a maximum of 200,000. The installation boundary will be increased to accommodate the new poultry houses. The two new poultry houses will be fitted with air scrubbers to reduce emissions of both ammonia and odour.
How to make comments on the variation
A public consultation on this application to vary the permit will go live as of the 3 March and will run until 31 March 2022 where we will gather comments for review. All relevant information regarding this application can be found at the following website: https://consult.environment-agency.gov.uk/psc/gl2-8hr-mr-jon-smith-mrs-josephine-smith-and-mr-th/
There is more information regarding this application on the Gov.UK website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/environmental-permitting-notices-of-applications- made where you can search by either postcode or EPR reference as of 3 March 2022.
If you wish to make comments you can e-mail pscpublicresponse@environment-agency.gov.uk. Or write to: P&SC - Land Team, Quadrant 2, 99 Parkway Avenue, Sheffield, S9 4WF.
What we only discovered yesterday is the attached letter which has gone out to some properties and not others advising of a drop-in consultation event at Maisemore Village Hall on WEDNESDAY 2 March 2022 - extremely short notice.
Would any resident living in a designated "receptor" property (*) and who hasn't received the letter please contact me.
