Agreed. Although in Martin’s defence, I don’t necessarily think it’s him who keeps tweaking the plans, I believe it’s the Council who keep asking for slight changes. They are the ones who wanted more affordable housing, included in the project, not Ron.
So yeah, whilst it’s vital we get the planning permission as soon as possible, the Council have to take a look at themselves aswell.
For my mind, they’re certainly doing their “due diligence”, and making sure they get exactly what they want out of this project.
Again, I agree with you, but I also think he has the right to say to the council's officers "these are the plans, I'm not making any more changes because you've been stringing me along for 2 years. You now have 8 weeks to review and make your recommendations to the council."
If the council refuse permission I think he has the right to appeal their decision.
You might see that as a bit of a gamble, but I don't. We won't really lose anything by trying. If they do refuse then he just submits new plans. Given how slow the council are being I don't really think he has anything to lose by trying.
