aldi breach half of planning conditions

Enjoying a drop of red.
Whilst clearly Aldi need to sort this out, am I the only one who thinks those members of the planning committee quoted in the article come across as a bunch of hypocritical self-important arseholes?

Let's make a huge fuss about a hedge, but do bugger all about Doxey Marshes being built on by Lord Dickhead!

Does anybody else remember Aldi's plans, many years ago, for a store behind the Top of the World? That was allegedly scuppered by traffic considerations on Newport Road - then Tesco appeared.

Some people may be more 'in' than others?

You really imagine Tesco bothered applying for permission ?

I just searched for 'permission' - they claimed that they don't have any. - and suggested that I broaden my search by using fewer words.

I agree, except that you can't restrict it just to those quoted. They're all hypocritical self-important asreholes.

Also look what's happening at Creswell manor and old Brooklands School site

Do we have a definitive list of what lord nobnuts actually owns around here, so I can try to avoid ever helping increase his wealth? I guess they won't be having fireworks at the new egg chasing club* so at least they can't get owt from me that way now (I shall be supporting the hockey club instead).


* At least until the floodlit pitches have scared all the migratory wildlife away, and I'm sure Lord Stafford would be down there with a rifle shooting them as they flew in if he thought he could make a quid out of it.

Never felt the need to try, but doesn't that take half the skill out of it?

Just remembered, blood sports aren't about skill.
I think that it would take rather more than half the skill out..

How about a new 'sport', involving soaking wealthy land owners in aniseed and eau de fox and then chasing them with horses and hounds?

I'd like to suggest to Aldi that they don't ever use this building company again - perhaps that might bring home to the builders' that they are not above Planning Regulations!
I think you'll find Aldi won't give a Fcuk.

I think you'll find ALDI will give them bonuses for dealing so effectively with a totally useless planning department.

Our town planning is amazing! Sports pitches allowed in nature reserves, sports pitches denied on current sports pitches, houses allowed on previous sports pitches moving to aforementioned allowed new sports pitches, what's not to like? We'll soon be living in a suburban utopia where worries like wildlife/healthcare/higher education/a courthouse will be a thing of the past.
