Such enchanting features for pioneer school architecture… Keeping fingers crossed (don’t want to get cross any other way). Passing it on as quick as possible. Deadline today, eh?

Tried to enter my name on the petition site but the page appeared to reject it saying something like I had already signed. (But I hadn’t.)

Eventually the planning committee may be worn down and the opposition may lose focus. The applicant only needs to get one approval even though they may have been defeated many times before. With the absurd property prices the rewards of getting a planning application may be immense. Nevertheless I will object. We must not assume others will do it for us.

It kept saying that an error had occurred ( it hadn’t) Anyway, good luck. You can probably win without my vote.

James Moores must be stopped in his tracks now, or this will just go on. Tom Ridges research is brilliant!

Very important for developers to work with the local community, rather than against them.

Thank you so much for such an interesting post. I’ve signed the petition of course, and hope the appeal fails for once and for all.
