Planning Officers recommend the application is granted!

The Planning Officers report has now been received and it RECOMMENDS that the application is GRANTED. Members of the Action Group have considered the report and are of the opinion that it is heavily biased in favour of the developer and ignores or brushes aside the valid objections of many residents from the Estate and elsewhere, including the local MP, Assembly Member and Councillors. 138 letters and a petition of 1132 signatures, of which 495 were from people resident on the Estate, were received by the Planning Office against the amended plans submitted in December 2007. There are also factual errors and other matters in the Planning Officers report that the Committee will be bringing to the attention of the Planning Committee.

The first meeting at which the Committee will consider this application is on Wednesday next 19th March at 2.30 at the City Hall. The room in which it is to be held (the Ferrier) has a capacity of nearly 100 and we would like as many people as possible to attend. This application is expected to be heard during the first hour of the meeting and we would hope that a decision would be deferred for a site visit to be made.

If agreed to, THE SITE VISIT WILL TAKE PLACE ON MONDAY APRIL 7TH. We would like as many people to be present as possible so please keep this date free in your diaries. We will let you know the time of the visit as soon as it becomes available.

The next Planning Committee Meeting will then be held on Wednesday April 16th – another crucial date for your diaries as a further showing of objection to the plans is required then as well.

While this is a set-back to our campaign we are determined to carry on and fight these proposals by all means possible and look forward to continuing to receive your support.
