PLANNING APPLICATION COMMITTEE HEARING
The sport’s club planning application for a new clubhouse and enabling houses is to be heard by the Southern Area Planning Committee on Thursday 27 August at 6.00pm. The venue is the Alamein Suite in the City Hall. We cannot be sure our application will be heard first as there will be other cases to be voted on, but the meeting commences at 6 o’clock – BE THERE!
It is vital we have as many supporters of the application as possible because, although the audience is not allowed to speak, clapping or hissing is not able to be stopped which would influence the committee made up of our councillors. These councillors are our elected representatives and should wish to follow any majority opinion if they want to get elected again! The councillors are human and inevitably will be “helped” in their vote by seeing how seriously people consider an application, by how many people turn up at the meeting.
Please make every effort to attend to help all the work put in so far pay off. Bring a friend, a relative, another club member, anyone you can think of. If you cannot attend, make sure you let other people know of the meeting. Hopefully our application will be approved, but it is very likely conditions will be attached, and if we can minimise these that would reduce costs and/or onerous responsibilities.
