The post you are reporting:
Cllr Roger Walkden my posting #1121 recommended the way forward was working together to restore our National Ancient Monument by getting EH to pull their fingers out - and for two brief moments, I thought wow! This was going to happen.
Sadly we are told by you (# 1144) that those who are campaigning against the CGI proposal - amended, so the DXpress says, to sell the hotel planning permission on - are campaigning to destroy them (Western Heights and the Farthingloe Valley).
How you came to that conclusion, is beyond my ken... same logic I suppose that applied to the £20million Community Hospital that I secured but local politicians ensured that we did not get.
Cllr. Walkden - Roger ... I trust that DDC does not take that attitude with regards to our, CPRE and EH submitted objections?
Further, may I suggest that you read carefully the posting made by Lara, Alexander and I and you will find that what we say is not what you say.
I particularly recommend Lara's posting of 11 July 2012 - #1109.
In my opinion an excellent over view of a possible marketing strategy of the Heights. OK, like me Lara is a local yokel and not a sycophant, therefore beneath DDC and DTC's contempt - BUT...
Finally, regarding the proposed hotel and conference centre, Planning Inspector Stoddart in 1993, in rejecting a proposed housing and hotel development on Western Heights, said:
I am surprised by the allocation of the site of the former Grand Shaft Barracks for housing/possible hotel use. I do not see how such a plan, with its related access and servicing, could possibly suitable within the Ancient Monument.
