The Decision Letter from Hazel Blears' Department

[Lord Bracknell]

LB can you attach the note saying what grounds for appeal exist?

In brief ...

"Any person aggrieved by the decision may question the validity of the decision on the grounds that it is not within the powers of the [Town and Country Planning] Act or that any of the relevant requirements have not been complied with in relation to the decision. An application under this section [S.288] must be made within six weeks of the decision".

 

[Mendoza]

whens the appeal date??

4th September (ish)

Wasting your time.

Under the Safety of Sports Ground legislation, all NEW stadiums HAVE to comply with the all seater requirements.

Unless of course you want to waste yet more time before the stadium building can commence by trying to change the law of the land:falmerspi:falmerspi:falmerspi:falmerspi:falmerspi

Please take note of the Jester smilie

 

[Frutos]

Could she not have just written 'YES' in big letters with a thick felt-tip marker, and saved the bother of writing all that?

apart from the wrong name of the ambulance service

 

[Normandy seagull]

It is astounding they could get it wrong!!!!!!

 

[The Large One]

Hazel Blears mentioned 'partly built up area' several times.

Just to make sure, like.

7. The Stadium shall not be brought into use unless and until a scheme for the integrated provision of suitable secure bicycle parking facilities has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and the approved scheme has been fully implemented.

So I can cycle to the football? Brilliant!

 

[DIFFBROOK]

The name of the Ambulance service is wrong. But the wording on one of the annexes mentions "any of the sucessor organisations". So I suppose that covers that error in any case.

Anyway, how could they ask for a judicial inquiry on that. It not procedural and SofS could simply just send a letter saying for East Sussex Ambulance read South East Coast Ambulance Trust.

That really would be clutching at straws

From 'sarf London'? Would you not be knackered?

 

[Napper]

Representations are being sought with a view as to whether it is appropriate to re-open the public inquiry into the National Park. As no final decision on designation has yet been taken, and as the precise boundary may yet be subject to change, the Secretary of State has afforded the proposed National Park only limited weight as a material consideration in the determination of these applications.


Could they push for a delay until this is sorted ?

11. There shall be no laser and/or firework displays at the stadium.

I wanted fireworks at the opening game!

Bring back rocket man

 

[Sorrel]

Great news! Well done to everyone for all their efforts in everything!

 

[Statto]

Brilliant news!:falmerspi:yahoo::dance:



Seriously though. I dont reckon they would even get granted an appeal if they tried. After 2 yes decisions (and one probably) they surely be unsuccesfull in getting it ito the court room. Its got to be watertight, surely. Theyd be lauged out of court.

 

[sully]

I can spot a loop hole- they have called our Ambulance service "East Sussex Ambulance Service". It has not been called that for years. Try "South East Coast Ambulance Service". ssssshhhhhhhh nobody tell the NIMBY's

The letter also repeatedly spells Moulsecoomb wrong!!

 

[DTES]

As childish as it may sound, the one thing that stood out for me more than anything else, is that the word "bats" appears 3 times in the letter (including appendices). Marvellous.

Regulation 19 Direction. She also agrees that the question of lighting impact is adequately addressed in the Environmental Statement and
that the evidence submitted on bats was convincing that no unacceptable impact would be likely to arise. Additionally, for the reasons given in paragraph IRa1.19, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector that the question of meeting the requirements of Regulation 44 of the Habitats Regulations is unlikely to arise. The Secretary of State considers that she has sufficient information before her to enable her to assess the main environmental effects of the development proposed, and she considers that the relevant requirements of the Regulations have been satisfied.


SHIT BATS.................. We shouldn`t build it there if there are bats. I f***ing hate bats.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Bats love stadiums. They live in the rafters and swoop down on unsuspecting football fans.

I trust that this reassures you, Mr Questions.
