OUTRAGED residents battling to preserve a stretch of green land have formed an action group to fight a planning application.
More than 100 local residents have come together to form the Round Hill Action Group (RHAG), a constituted group registered with Stockton Borough Council.
They are fighting a planning application for 19 self-build plots and the development of a country park, submitted by local developer and businessman, Dave Weatherall.
Addressing the group at a recent meeting, Councillor Lee Narroway, said: "This is clearly a very professional residents' group, which is fighting hard to protect the land."
Mr Weatherall has admitted that selling 19 plots on the banks of the River Tees will generate a profit of about £3m.
Ingleby Barwick Parish Council will be discussing the planning application at a meeting tomorrow at 7.15pm.
RHAG, supporters and local ward councillors will be attending the meeting.
The planning application for 19 self-build plots and a country park will go before Stockton Council's planning committee on December 7.
