Well if I just read it correctly, it says...

1) The park stays
2) Any redevelopment will have to be minor and used to fund the park.

Wow!

Nick, have we read it correctly?

Thinking about people who won't be best pleased if we are reading this correctly, is there any appeal process or is this the finishing post? Or, is it now down to individual planning applications to try to push the bar?

Just want to know how things stand.

TDC's press release says:

"On Dreamland, the Inspector recommends that the Council should revert to their previous policy, set out in the 2001 draft of the plan."

This is exactly what we were asking for and is the best possible news. Am sure Nick will explain everything in simple terms once he gets a moment, but I am thrilled to bits.

Well done Nick and Susan for all your hard work, and Dave for being there too - great work!

I completely agree Sarah, but I think you had just a little to do with it too!

Well done all of you!

Page 21 is the inspectors findings,

in the most part the park must be kept, along with the cinima and scenic, a small bit may have to be sacrficed with the money raised from the sale of the land going to keep the park going...



All thats needed now is an investor
Zoid on!

Inspector's Report

Postby porterm » 17 Nov 2005, 17:05

Hello all,

Just the news we've been waiting for. Perhaps all the doom merchants will now be silenced and some positive Dreamland Park development can commence as soon as possible.

I hope all the local media trumpet this wonderful news. (Even though my current job finishes next week it's just the pick-up we all need I feel)

Bring on the weekend celebrations! (I do hope I'm not being too excitable there)

Hows about a big meetup somewhere if this news is as positive for the Campaign as I read into?

Martin

PS I also attended last June's Local Plan Appeal Meeting but wasn't exactly in good voice that day sadly. (I don't think I could have really added too much that wasn't already stated anyway) - great work team
