Re: Re: Appealing to ABP

Ok so I went ahead with my appeal back in January.

The board are due to rule next month.

The Community Centre hired an external planning consultant to produce a response to my appeal and that of 2 others, which claims to comprehensively debunk all of our concerns, and have submitted that to ABP.

ABP have now invited me to respond to the planning consultants report, which has to be in tomorrow.

Is it normal practice for ABP to offer appelants a right of reply such as this?

Any advice on how I should handle my response – this planning consultants response selectively parses through the 5 issues I have raised and purports to deal with them, should I in turn respond to his report line by line ? or just re-inforce my original points …

Any input much appreciated!
