Many thanks to all those on the Rose Cottage campaign that came out for the photo call last night. It was for the handing in of the Rose Cottage Petition at the town hall, and we got a fairly good turn out for the time of day (about 20 at 6pm).
I'm in the process of uploading pictures, and a few of them are on-line here.
Here's one of my favourites, its of the tenants who are (from left to right) Peter Johnson, Breeze Hill, Hasty Lane and Oliver, Jamie and Anthony Lowe, Rose Cottage, Hasty Lane.
The petition has over 1020 names now on it and we actually hand it to the planning department tomorrow.
Due to the demonstrated public opposition to these plans we hope the Planning Department will now recommend refusal.
It can easily do so on a number of planning policies, but the clearest one is PPG15, the economic justification for demolishing a listed building.
PPG15 states that the economic argument for demolishing the listed building is of such magnitude, that it substantially outweighs the considerbale heritage protection it currents enjoys.
As air freight has almost halved in recent months, the economic arguments for expanding air freight capacity no longer stack up.
