Bristols Biofuel update

Posted by hibiscus - 12 May 2010 at 8:49am - Comments

  Dear All,
   As predicted W4B have lodged an appeal, and will have a good chance of success unless some good planning arguments against are made.
   
   IN LINE with GREENPEACE campaigns some of us in The Bristol GREENPEACE Group were active in opposition to this - the Council's Development Control 
   North Committee rejected the W4B application on political grounds , which means that the appeal on planning law groundshas a very good chance of 
   success UNLESS a strong legal counter argument is mounted. 
   
   The biofuels policy is under review and there will be new evidence available, but it might NOT come within the planning law remit.
 
    BRIEFLY 
    Following the refusal by The Bristol City Council's Development Control North - Chaired by Cllr Lewis, defeated in the recent Council elections-
    W4B has lodged an appeal.
    Appeal Ref: A/10/2126342/NWF
 
    The Planning Inspectorate has indicated that  a Public Enquiry will be held to determine the appeal - the DATE for this enquiry is yet to be determined.
 
    The closing date for comments is 2nd JUNE 2010.
