Pity someone like LLFC couldn't have rescued Baswich House and the old Brooklands School instead of leaving Stafford'sfew remaining heritage assets to the council's planning clowns, who only care about maximising income from new homes.
PPPP I'm afraid your criticism of SBC's planning department is unfounded. The planning department do not care about maximising profits through the development of new homes, however that is the motivation of the landowner and developer. The planning department can seek to try and influence the proposed development during the planning process, however they can't dictate to the landowner or developer as to how they should or shouldn't develop their land or buildings and any decision they make must be based on planning grounds.
