Developers win the appeal

The Secretary of State has issued his decision about the Coate Appeal and the bad news is that we have lost. Planning permission has been granted and you can read the full report here:

The blame lies totally with Swindon Council who have pushed the Coate area forward for housing development and business/industrial use through the Local Plan and the emerging Core Strategy.  We have been stuffed by them and don't you forget it.

Absolutely insane!

The only rationale I can conjure up is that Counselers have no fear of the electorate ... indeed they are catering to the publc's fear of bad times and dseire for jobs.

A lot of cynicism, duplicity ... and money changing hands on this one!

What next for protesters?
