SZ Fantasy League Champ 08/09.
I haven't seen the actual wording of the relevant parts of the decision letter anywhere else so I thought I would post it:
"The Secretary of State considers that she will not be in a position to reach a decision on this application by 06 March 2008, as previously notified, because of the need to allow parties time to provide a satisfactory planning obligation...she hereby gives notice that she has varied the timetable previously set and she will now issue her decision on or before 27 May 2008."
I have read most of the document and I am sure the above it is not necessarily a problem but it is premature to say we definately have a new ground. It appears that the Inspector was pretty unreserved in his considerations in favour of the applications but Hazel Blears, who is not duty bound to accept all his considerations, seems a bit more cautious, especially about the strip of land by the access:
"The Secretary of State has also considered the Inspector's comments...about the narrow strip of land on the western side of the application site which is in seperate ownership and not covered by the Agreement...she is less sanguine than the Inspector about the implications of the fact that the owners of the land are not co-signatories to the Agreement."
Therefore she asked the parties to submit proposals as to how it might be resolved. If Ron says he has this sorted, then I believe him although in my experience these things often take longer than a few days and I can see why Hazel Blears has allowed 7 weeks to resolve the issue.
To use an analogy, Ron has rounded the goalkeeper and has an empty net in front of him - he just has to put the ball over the line and the stadium is ours.
