15 October (Part 2) - How does he do it?
If
at first you don’t succeed…
Not long ago Bexley Council refused an application to build a care home on the
site of the Leather Bottle public house because
there
was quite enough of them in the borough already however the rules appear not
to apply, or at least not last very long, when applied to their favourite developer.
The one who knocked down Bexley’s oldest pub while the Council stood around
doing nothing. The one who was
prosecuted by the H&SE for dangerous demolition
practices and went on to build
the monstrosity which blighted gardens on Woolwich
Road but wore the planning department down until they gave up on protecting residents. The
one who likes to attract the attention of the police with
impromptu car chases.
He was granted permission to build his 70 bed care home yesterday.
20/02852/FULM. The care company Astoria Healthcare based in Hounslow argued that
there was a demand for care homes in Bexley and they would be willing to run it.
Our Council took their word for it.
