Re: Re: My elderly parents

Mark,

that is brilliantly put “that their proposal had garnered some local political support”

A problem that planners have in this country is dealing with constant political intereference into what is a purely technical field i.e. does a particular plot of land have the capacity to accomodate a particular development proposal without significant negative impacts.

It is possible that the planners in the case of the first two one-off houses were subject to political intereference and that in this case they felt that the cumulative impacts of another house roughly the size of 4 typical houses in a Special Area of Conservation would constitute a significant risk to the environment in this location.

Re: Manor Park they knew the zonings and environmental designations prior to purchase it is up to them to find ways of applying that do not compromise the regulatory framework.
