| It wasn't fobbing off, though the finances were always very cahllenging. We did finally approve a plan a few years ago at planning (I voted in favour, unlike many other ones such as the Morrisons redevelopment, Goddards self-store on the canal and the redevelopment of the old Homebase). Then in his infinite wisdom, Michael Gove called the decision in. There was a public enquiry (which took a year or 3 to set up, run and report). The commissioner completely agreed with the decision of the planning committee so all Gove did was delay it. Meanwhile Brexit and the pandemic happened and a lot of E European workers went back to E Europe, Truss happened so the housing market was devastated and the changes in building regulations after Grenfell led to a new proposal being needed. The Cabinet members have been trying to get a new proposal and they have one, but I have problems with it: it is not currently viable (though there may be government subsidy in the wings); there is no real plan for the arts centre and I don't think any funding (It's just a shell for whoever is going to run the centre); there is currently virtually no affordable housing. I understand why, because the market is yet to recover. My complaint about planning is that the committee (formerly elected from Labour and separately from Conservative members) is now on the Labour side simply appointed by the leader and includes people like Tom Bruce who clearly has a conflict of interests between his redevelopment job and democratic oversight. Not a single application has been refused or deferred by the planning committee for at least 12 months. We might as well abolish it |
