Well, you guys convince yourselves of whatever you want, the facts are that the airport portacabins are still subject to enforcement notices, but it seems that the planning authority will have to take the long route round to getting resolution of the issues, ie via a local inquiry, which will all take ages (sept/oct I believe).
.....Bill Savage said " .....we welcome an independent planning inspector looking at the case....." What a load of cr@p. He has been arguing for months that he believes the portacabins are permitted development and thus circumvent the planning process. If he wanted a planning inspector look at the case, Cov Airport could have actually applied for planning permission for the portacabins and the proposals judged on their own merits, but that would be a bit simple wouldnt it?
Flightmapping-
My sources tell me that you need to learn a lesson or two in how to behave at a consultation forum. The whole point is that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and allowed to express it in a non intimidatory forum. Heckling of people whose views do not align with your own is no way to behave in such a forum. You did yourself no favours by acting unprofessionally, and gave the people airing their concerns further reason to have gripes.
'WDC should work with the airport' - well if CA bothered applying for planning permission, that would indeed give them the mechanism to engage with them.
"Ain't no stopping us now" - Is this an example of Thomsonfly's sensitive community relations policy? As you point out, it is likely to be highly inflammatory comment, that will just wind certain people up.
Warkman et al- I am told WDC have a budget for legal actions etc, and this will draw on that fund. Hence no council tax rises expected. Sorry to spoil your fun.
