Will they or won’t they
Sep 6th, 2011 by bobdootson
To-night the planning committee sit to decide whether to accept the retrospective application for the landing zones.
Will they ignore the 1902 Act and allow the provisions within to be breached ?
Will they ignore the conditions set by their own planning authority, in this case “Trading will not be allowed until the car park is developed according to the approved plans”?
If they ignore the conditions set by their own officers, then why set the conditions in the first place?
And lets not forget…… Go-Ape agreed to the conditions set…
report here in 24 hours, but don’t hold your breath, after what has gone on since 2008 nothing will surprise me!!!
No surprises there! it appears some people have a different interpretation of the wording of the 02 Act…
Like I said “Nothing will surprise me”……. and it didn’t!
What I can never understand is: “Why abstain?”
Just had a look at the site location map that has been accepted with the application..
It appears to be the same one that was submitted with the application, and therefore incorrect…… what does that tell you?
either all comments about the incorrect site map have been ignored, or !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…….. I’ll leave that conclusion to your own imagination….
Bob,
I must say, having read all the information you’ve sent me over the past months, and read also the Chorley Council responses, I don’t understand how you have managed to stay so calm and focussed.
It has been obvious for a long time that the people with whom you are dealing have no intention in changing their minds about anything that has gone before and will continue to use any flawed argument they can to protect their original flawed desicions.
Unfortunately I have been involved for some years in this type of scenario with Bolton Council and can only tell you it doesn’t get any easier and you’ve just got to keep pushing. I will continue to harangue Chorley Council by email and hope this small contribution might eventually have an effect. Keep up the good work.
On receiving notification from Chorley Borough Council that Go-Ape’s retrospective application for the landing zones had been approved I emailed them asking what action would now be taken regarding the fact that the current course design is not the same as the plan which was originally approved. I asked would Go-Ape submit a retrospective application for the change considering the fact that there are now trees in use on the course which have not had a tree survey done and therefore no-one knows if they are safe and fit for purpose? Go-Ape stated that the landing zones were enlarged for safety reasons so I also asked surely the same applies to the trees.
