I ♥ cryptic crosswords
What we know so far -
i) The initial application was approved
ii) That decision was subject to a Judicial Review
iii) SBC ceded that it was wrong to give said approval on the 'technical' grounds that the correct environmental impact assessment - or some such - hadn't been included in application 1.0
iv) Application 1.1 - now with added hundreds and thousands and a cherry on the top - is approved
v) That decision is in doubt, subject to scrutiny from the SoS for Approved Pudding Toppings
vi) SoS for APT deems it unnecessary to be 'called in', so application 1.1 can go ahead
vii) Application 1.1 does not go ahead
What we don't know so far -
i) Why application 1.1 has not gone ahead - cf vi) ^above
ii) Why nobody knows why i)
