1 November - Reform (Bexley) annihilates Bexley Council’s planning department
It
was
reported here ten days ago that Reform UK (Bexley) had submitted a 29 page
demolition job to Bexley’s planning department on their recommendation to allow
a noisy golf practice facility within a few feet of the houses in South Gipsy Road.
The mistakes made by officers of Bexley Council, if that is what they are, some
might harbour less generous opinions, were simply incredible. Always accepting
the word of the applicant, dismissing independent acoustics reports commissioned
by objectors and misleading Planning Committee Members are enough to give
credence to those who imagine brown envelopes being exchanged.
I do not envy anyone given the job of answering
Reform’s 29 pages of
complaint and evidence (PDF) and lucky for them they may not
now have to. The applicant has withdrawn his application to blight the lives of
everyone living near to the Crook Log Sports Centre.
It would seem that in Bexley, if you need something done, it pays to get its
smallest political party on side. Labour raised no objections to the Golf
Pods and their Planning Committee Members offered a little support. On the
Conservative side, only
the Chairman appeared to have serious misgivings.
Now Reform is free to concentrate on their
complaints against Cabinet Member Bishop.
