Gone a bit quiet? Love to be a fly on the wall as AEPG and the renegade 4 cook up their reasoning to challenge their clearly explained defeat.
So just a reminder of where they went wrong and what should have been the policy:
Policy LP31: East of England Showground (Peterborough Preliminary Draft Local Plan January 2016) Within the East of England Showground, as shown on the Policies Map, planning permission will be granted for development for sport, leisure and other uses which would be appropriate to the existing Showground and which would not impair its continued use for that purpose. Proposals for development should not have an unacceptable adverse impact on the surrounding uses (especially on occupiers of nearby residential properties), and all development should ensure that the character of the area is maintained.
And as was said on Oct 15: Brian Connolly, a spokesperson for the Peterborough Speedway Consortium, said: “This is the wrong solution for this site. The irony is that Peterborough could have both – it can have the development and the speedway track.
Which is why LP36 & LP30 came in to being one assumes which was laid out quite clearly by at the planning meeting by Chair, along with the NPPF amongst other issues.
The EEAS have badly managed the site (as was also alluded to by Chair) and AEPG gambled that they could steamroller through their plans without any thought for the consequences now, and indeed for years before their vision doesn't deliver as per the brochure and rhetoric clearly swallowed by some councillors?
I'm sure that Butterfield was well pleased when Fitzgerald said something along the lines that "I suppose they could build round the speedway track" which I'm sure he didn't realise was suggested (before it went AWOL) by PCC Open Space Management who were disappointed with the current submission of the 2 somewhat underwhelming Applications (which should have been one, as was said at the planning meeting).
