Advice sought. Planning regs.

Pretty much what would be expected.

As an aside, why didn't he object at the planning stage?

In fact he did, as did others who will be affected. As much as the planning committee, I suppose he didn't realise quite what the actual implications were. After all you only get a plan of the site. Unless you are au fait with reading plans/drawings etc they probably mean not much to you.

@ClichéGuevara The site is a genuine 'geenfield'site. My pal moved into his house 42 years ago and it has always been just a farmers field. As for the peat I have no idea.
It did come out in the meeting that the earth that has been bulldozed to meet the levels on the approved plans has had rock and whatever laid
underneath.

Fair enough, which just tells me I even more sure no good will come of his complaints as they have already been considered and he is looking for another angle.

Pardon me if I'm wrong.

Did they say why a "greenfield" site and not a "brownfield" one is being used?

Haha no pardon needed. I think you're spot on.

@classic33 No. Good question though.

I am looking for an enoji with pound notes.
If they pay enough back handers they will get it passed. Bastewards they are.

Former quarry is previously developed land so technically brownfield.

Do you think public sector workers take bungs? Surely they would get caught.

Don't Google what went on with Edinburgh city council either.

Leeds City Council set up a department to deal with it.

Didn't know that. I do know one of the guys that did time over it.

Of course they do. You've only got to look at Sally Webster in prison to see how crooked they are.

You are right. I am chastened.
I would take that comment back if I could

Public sector workers don't take bungs - they don't need to when they can award juicy contracts to companies in which their spouse is a major shareholder.

Or that will help them in their next career move.
