Destruction of Doxey Marshes.

[John Marwood]

Let's hope he's good at replacing light bulbs too, rumour has it the new floodlights are an open target.

The Canadian's are coming!

So let's get it straight, the council head of leisure is also a director of the rugby club?

Here's what the Constitution says...


7. OUTSIDE COMMITMENTS
7.1
Officers above Scale 6 are expected to devote their whole-time service to the work of the Council and shall not engage in any other business or take up any other additional appointment without the express consent of the Chief Executive.

7.2
Employees should not undertake outside work if their official duties overlap in some way with their proposed work, if it causes a conflict of interest, or if it makes use of material to which the employee has access by virtue of his or her position (for example, an architect or a planner who draws up plans within his or her own authority for an applicant for planning consent). It is irrelevant whether or not the work is paid.

You missed out the final, most important part of that section...

"Unless he subsequently says sorry".

 

[PPPPPP]

That says part of the land is an SSI, can you build on that?

Normally you can't even build close to a SSS1, let alone on it, but Stafford is a special case with a desperate need for rugby pitches.

Of course, it's obviously just a misunderstanding.

Of course, it's obviously just a misunderstanding.

The consequences of getting caught, apart from the fulsome apology of course, can range from early retirement on full pension, through to early retirement with fifteen years enhancement and a healthy lump some.

I tell you what, that would put the wind up me...

And a university sports ground up for grabs. Egg chasing tossers, not a fan of many sports but Stafford rugby club have earned my particular disdain for this. I shall enjoy calling them twats at every opportunity.

Lords & Top Brass v A bunch of twitchers?

Not one for a pools coupon that one..

Aprons!!! at dawn!!!

Banzai!!!

Is that image accurate John or another of your ramblings? I hadn't realised they were after such a large plot! Surely they can't allow this?! They wont allow Stafford Hockey Club to build an astro pitch on their own land!!

The hockey club don't have the right friends.

Typical, they've put the wrong plan on the agenda and the wrong ref in the bit about previous 130 house scheme. Number given is for a cattle shelter!

Planning meeting next Monday (21 September 2015) morning (site visit 09:30, planning meeting 11:15):

http://www.staffordbc.gov.uk/demserv/meeting/id/8221C77D-07D4-4C5E-AADC-B033542D0367

Approved - subject to legal clarification of EU directive.

Comes, one suspects, as a surprise to no one.

 

[PPPPPP]

Verdict in favour of Lord Stafford and the council's Head of Leisure, who also happens to be a director of Stafford rugby club? Wow, didn't see that one coming.

 

[1JKz]

This stinks!

I can't believe any decision is legally binding if details on the planning application are wrong.

 

[United57]

Will this appear in Private Eye

 

[tek-monkey]

I can't believe any decision is legally binding if details on the planning application are wrong.

They will probably say sorry.

 

[PPPPPP]

I wonder if they will 'lose' the recording of the committee meeting or have technical problems?

 

[kyoto49]

Somebody must be able to do SOMETHING to stop this

 

[PPPPPP]

a) Take Judicial Review action
b) Tell the police
b) Stop paying council tax
