Thanks for the clarification yetion1.
If only we could get them to re-issue the plans quicker!!!
Your words might be more than you imagined when you posted.
It would appear there is an information leak. Nice one, nothing like knowing what’s going on. No, the leak is not Indy which adds to the suspicions of information being with held from the district council.
Apparently the planning application that was turned down for Lidle is to be re-heard this week. Great………..or perhaps not! WMDC planning apparently are going to over ride their own highways department report that states action is required to easy congestion at the junction and a different access.
So basically it looks like Lidle could have its plan passed. That does not mean that they own the land nor can carry out their construction. I or you can apply for planning on each others homes and get a pass if no one objects.
The one thing we all agree upon is that we all desire a supermarket ASAP. The situation I believe we have here is 2 supermarkets at battle for one site. One is listening and one not as it sees £s. The fact of the matter is the Lidle plan as it stands will frig the traffic up once and for all. My personal worry now is that the apparent actions of the planning panel will result in there own highways department forcing a judicial review that will result in the site being in legal battle for years to come and leaving us with nothing.
Do we accept a supermarket at any cost with any plan? Has that not been the problem with construction and design in Featherstone for many years? Just a small amount of consideration would go a long way wouldnt it?
