There is a democratically decided (after wide consultation) adopted planning brief for the site.

Bit late to start protesting now, and rather pointless.

What happens in the end is probably up to the owners!

There won't be any houses being built on the Dreamland site for the forseeable future.

When the Nationwide's house price figures come out on Monday, they will show that property values have fallen by around 15% over the last year, and they are going to carry on falling for the rest of this year and for the whole of next year. And then for the first half of 2010 too.

By the time any development could be completed, house prices will have fallen by at least 40%.


The site will stand empty for the next five years at the very least and probably for far longer.

and with the credit crunch and prices of houses falling and with no houses being built untill 5 years time this is great news as the heratige park will be open before 5 years time , maybe we could have the whole site as an amusement park once more

But this campaign doesn't own Dreamland, and maybe, just maybe, the credit crunch might be hitting the site owners also, who possibly would have required the cash from the 'enabling development' to fund the considerable costs of a park on site?
