I had read the stunner my self before reading your round up of news and was suprised to read the reports on the planning applications one being approved and one being rejected. My reading was that they had both been validated and were awaiting decisions.
Perhaps i have misinturpreted it but page 11 states ” the application has been validated, with the authority now ready to proceed to a decision.” with similar on 17
Bill, it is good to see you have not completely disappeared and that you are as keen eyed as ever.
The information given in the paper was out of date (see links provided in the post), so I up dated it. Consequently as you point out, my post was not a strictly accurate report of what was in the paper, but it did not seem worth indicating the out of date information, explaining that it was out of date, then giving the current situation.
Does this mean Bob will make a come back as well?
Well Pheadair, Bob’s never really been away….
– just keeping a watching brief, waiting for an opportune moment and contentious post……
