| Yes this is the argument that the Duke has made everytime he's applied for things - he also benefited from S106 planning gain money for some of the 'urgent' work he wanted to do previously, and which he has only just got around to, some years after he got the dosh. Where the money he has made from all these things he has variously sold, or allowed (filming, events in Syon House, different weekend events throughout the year, the garden centre, the hotel etc.) we have no idea. Originally the appeal could have been an 'enabling' ploy - the application has to be allowed to enable to money from the housing development to be used to keep Syon House safe, but that's pretty much the reason that has been used every time with none of this important work apparently carried out, that idea was not in the end pursued. The question you have to ask I suppose is, when is an 'enabling' development' not an 'enabling development' but just greed? |
