Capeesh Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) ^^^ Yes, it further highlights how ludicrous the reason for denying him planning permission is. Even people who live in cities use cars to visit businesses, hence the massive car parks outside shopping malls, out of town supermarkets, retail parks etc. In addition there are large numbers of businesses who deliver goods direct to the customer, it doesn't arrive on gliders or sailing ships, the very thing I'm typing this message on probably came on a container ship from China. Don't get me wrong we should be trying to cut our carbon footprint, but to target one business and let off others makes no sense.

wotsit Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Maybe depends on your name and who is wanting the planning permission as to why some people seem to have problems getting permission whilst others do not ?

Da Burra Shop Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Tesco had no bother getting planning to expand the carpark for their customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fionajohn Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 there is a certain clique in the council who can be influenced by the club they belong to ...hint..hint ..this should be made illegal as is terrorist groups ....but then the tory gov is run by them and their backers Frances144 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotsit Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) I don't think it is just business applications either it is house holder applications eg" monster house Lerwick" this house appears too big for the size of plot - does the owner not work for the council?

marlin13 Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Surely once this is all sorted or perhaps before there has to be an SIC investigation into this. Something is wrong and it needs sorted. If policies need to be changed or guidance spelt out more clearly then that's what needs to be done. I shudder to think what the eventual cost in wasted man hours this insanity will ring up. wotsit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotsit Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 It is not necessarily policies that are wrong, it is the planning dept interpretation and the way this is being done that needs looking into. It appears as though they decide to fail an application and then try and interpret a policy to make sure it fails as opposed to looking at an application with an open mind no matter whose it is. People need to speak out publically about their experiences otherwise the council will get away with it.The system needs to be made fair for all.There is too much back scratching going on amongst planning dept and the councilors and others.Which why we get decisions that nobody can understand or be justified.From what I hearing there are plenty of people with similar experiences.

wotsit Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Is it not possible to find out the eventual cost of this planning application ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlin13 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I suppose it would be possible eg the subject of a FOI request. However unless a specific budget code is attached it could be a costly process in terms of time at least to arrive at a cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Why has the applicant put up a sign banning people from the public beach below the house? With the Scottish 'right to roam', the notice is as out of place as the planning department decision If he's guilty of doing that, then he's just lost my support. Sadly he is guilty of this, there is a notice on the gate leading to the small beach which says "Private" on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotsit Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) See Parkgate pizza restaurant has now hit the national newspapers. How much more spotlight does SIC planning want to be under, before they start doing their job properly and interpreting policies and rules fairly and properly.They must be the laughing stock of other councils over this latest fiasco.There has to be a lot more to this.

I have no time for people like this so I'm afraid he's lost what little support I had for him. I sent them a message of support in relation to the Pizza Business but they never even bothered to reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wotsit Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 This thread is about a planning applications and the planners decision and planning related matter, not about the right to roam which seems to be ignored by some crofters when it suits them.Right to roam should be a new thread/topic.
