PLEASE GET YOUR OBJECTIONS IN BY 26 JANUARY * TODAY! *AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

After today we turn our attention to the Development Control Committee - the small group of councillors who decide on this application. This group may first decide to make an inspection of the site - if they do, we can have placards, etc but we can't speak to them. Following the inspection there will be a meeting where certain groups (I expect we will be one) will be allowed to speak for 2 minutes. After that they make their decision. If they say Yes, we have other options which we will talk about then. If no, the developer can object (we can't). We have other options at this point which again we will go into if we need to.

So, other than getting your objections in, we can have a brief rest until the Planning Inspection or the Development Control Committee meeting. We will let you know about the dates for those.

If, however, anyone thinks we should be doing a particular demo in a particular place in the meantime, feel free to suggest it but also be prepared to consider organising it too - with help from us and the blog.
