Surprised Kites Nest Lane site is proposed by the council. It has two failed planning applications and a failed appeal - how it can be considered as a candidate? Is the planning criterion the same for land owned by the Council and for privately owned land?
Disappointing the Council hasn't enforced planning on this site, and would be doubly so if the council bought the site and overruled all previous objections.
I was surprised to see the Kites Nest Lane traveller site amongst the proposed council sites that was published last week.
Given that this site has failed planning applications and appeals on legitimate grounds over the last several years, I don't understand how it can be considered as a candidate - presumably the planning criteria would be the same for land owned by the Council as it would be for privately owned land?
It is disappointing that the Council has been unable to enforce planning conditions on this site, and would be doubly so if the site was acquired by the council, and all the previous objections over ruled.
