margaret, I have just been reading the report of HBC's planning officers to the planning committee relating to the barrett development at the pickle factory, it would seem that the officers wanted to grant barretts planning permission on the first application, it was the committee that refused the planning permission

The document is worth reading because it gives full details of the residents objections and fears. It also indicates that some of the land "the old quarry" could contain BLUE asbestos dumped there many years ago.
I will post the link to the document in the Homes at Pickle works thread
have a read
