After all, planning inspectors are not all employees of the PI and a fair number are self-employed consultants. (I have no idea if Mr Asquith is employed or self-employed.)<BR/><BR/>However, from the conclusion of Mr Asquith's decision report (available from <A HREF="http://www.pcs.planningportal.gov.uk/pcsportal/ViewCase.asp?casename=APP/C4615/A/07/2049906&caseaddress=COO.2036.300.2.7788178" REL="nofollow">here</A> he states the following [my bold] "Indeed, its provision<BR/>could result in considerable benefits in terms of general economic, <B>social and<BR/>community well-being and cohesion</B> as a result of the facilities, employment<BR/>and training it would be likely to bring."<BR/><BR/>So multi-culti rules. "Community cohesion" in this case is the answer to the question "how can we ensure adherence to Planning Inspectorate (ie government) guidelines (read <I>diktat</I>) and squeeze through this planning appeal in the face of opposition from the (I suspect) indigenous inhabitants of the neighbourhood?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
