I could not believe that you as a developer, are allowed to legally bribe a council by offering to pay for a roundabout or so as long as they get what they want.

We have provided an alternative layout to the council and the developer. The local MP is also supportive of our layout. However the council planners are dismissing it.

Sounds like a Jeremy Clarkson scenario. I despise local planners as they are just on a power trip and only their opinion counts.

Just checked with the pub who provide and serve the alcohol and hot food and they have been doing the temporary events licence on our behalf, so we so have a licence for our open days

Sounds like councils just wanting to line their pockets the easiest way which is to shaft others just to get big developments, they don't give a dam about the smaller minority

Here's hoping you can continue to do as you are doing now and that someone on the planning makes a few changes to help with this

It is difficult to see from the planning drawings (as there are so many and made to confuse IMO) how the existing 'tip' access road is going to change to affect the main road. But surely, for a 'public opening' event for the Mill, some volunteer road marshalls and notifying the local Police would suffice?
The plans for the access road look like they are going to go ahead and apart from 'red tape' and 'official bull$hit' I can't see any material reason the Mil shouldn't operate as normal. It's not like they are planning a new junction to the M1!

If it were me, I would say 'bollox' to them and just carry on and deal with the Council or Highways if they have a problem.

Persimmon and the Council want the housing estate, Persimmon want the access road (presumably as it is the cheapest place to put it). Doesn't mean the Mill owners' lifestyle should be turned on it's head because of that.

The council can apply to move the 30 speed limit out, past the mill Neil, that makes it safer for all concerned.
Persimmon can pay for that, as part of the new junction.

Thanks has already been suggested but fell on deaf ears.

Gutted to read this Neil.
