I can see you are all really trying to get the councillor on your side
Lets face it the council would have already taken action if they wanted to. Any other building without planning permission would not have lasted as long. If they don't make the right noises then anybody will think they can just build in Hyndburn without the council doing anything.
Why are the residents objecting, it's not like it's a 10 storey building blocking out their views of Whinney Hill
. There is also a structure being built on the ground next door which looks slightly higher than a couple of feet, how come that got permission ?
