Well, it took its time in coming but we've finally had a response to the comments we raised about the latest revised plans. We wish we could report that it was worth waiting for but it wasn't. The key questions about why the revisions have been submitted and their implications have gone unanswered. In the words of John Holmes "The Council does not attempt to guess why particular information or applications have been submitted, nor does it try to guess what implications neighbours or other interested parties may consider there to be."
Anyway, as we suggested in an earlier post, we believe that the revisions are an attempt to get around the Aborculturist's objections. We are still looking into the matter and will advise as and when.
We have also received a letter from Bill Cash which you be able to see by clicking on the following images. The letter refers to a reply he got to his own letter to Stafford Borough Council on our behalf. Most of the reply is also attached.
It is certainly informative to page through the posted comments on the Borough council website and see the overwhelming stance against this development....it is to myself as a layperson particularly disappointing to have not been made aware of the elected representatives opinion/involvement in this issue to support their constituents.Having read the associated documents twice on the councils website I still have little idea of what the three Fulford Tory Borough councillors are up to....all activity seeming to be from the blog producer.
ReplyDeleteI (like most other readers) find the councils response to any laypersons information request almost impenetrable as the `council speak` used means little to me,isn`t this what the elected members are supposed to interpret ?
Lastly I note from the documents that the developer is local...A Mr and Mrs P.Davis of Little Paddock,45,Hilderstone Road,Meir Heath 01782 393690. On driving past their house I can`t see any current adjacent houses for sale that we could collectively purchase and demolish and put social housing on but that is an idea for the future.
I wonder whether the direct approach of all `objectors` making their objections directly to Mr and Mrs Davis would make them realise their unpopularity in Rough Close ? Reading the last few dregs of the posted comments on the Borough Council site I notice that the latest `I support the application` come from commentators residing in very close proximity to the Davis`s....no doubt a coincidence ?
