Title: Chittening Post by: johnneyw on November 16, 2018, 22:55:16 FOSBR have put an enquiry on their Facepack page asking if anyone knows what is happening at Chittening. Apparently a new access track has appeared with signs saying "Balfour Beatty Rail".
Title: Re: Chittening Post by: Red Squirrel on November 17, 2018, 09:58:34 Balfour Beatty put in a planning application for a Bioenergy facility at Chittening (14/03210/F) but this was refused on air quality grounds. Maybe this is related?
Edit: I'm having trouble following this, but it looks like they may have got permission on appeal. No indication of a rail connection that I can see though.

Supplied by a siding perhaps? The FOSBR Bookface pages had no clear answers to the question they posed last time I looked.

Application goes into some detail about the road access onto the A403; if there was to be rail access they'd mention it, but they don't.
