Re: Re: Citywest : Mansfield’s giant heap of crap

He said he’s not in the least concerned about the Spencer Dock National CC, that there’s ample business to go round

God!! The scale of what he wants to do out there is unsustainable by any standards, regardless if more than one big conference would be needed.

The most interesting thing about the current appeal – as detailed by Thomond Park above – is that the Point Depot are one of the appellants. It shows they still see Mansfield’s plans as a threat to the Point Village/Spencer Dock Conference Centre plans.

It still seems a bit bizarre that something of major national strategic importance – like where a National Conference Centre is to be located – isn’t being decided at a higher (government) level, but is rather left to a battle between the people who want to build it, or the whim of a planning appeal outcome.
