Re: Whitebirk Retail Park

People need to have a choice of what shops they will visit......and everyone is trying to make their money go further.
Maybe it wasn't the Town Centre shops which lobbied against Poundstretcher...Maybe it was Asda, Boots and the like.....they really can't afford to share the market can they?

Yeah by the letter of the law I guess they are..but...

Surely the whole idea of planning permission is to stop people from building monstrosities and not restricting trade and job creation. This is a 'jobsworth' case..plain and simple...and it's typical of the restrictive practice that councillors constantly show, and what they are currently showing by fighting the Whitebirk development plan.

We know what's best for you..so suck it up!

Who decides which rules to enforce and which to ignore?

Someone with a shred of common sense...

There's a world of difference between opening a shop on a purpose built retail park hoping to sell stuff, and someone building a 20 foot concrete wall complete with machine gun towers around their maisonette in Ossy.

Planners have always been in a world of their own...from Zeri and the supertip in Huncoat to the disaster of the town centre and market rebuild

The problem is...common sense isn't common at all....it is a rare commodity...especially when used in the context of council departments.
