The post you are reporting:
Keith, you write, and not for the first time since the CGI planning application has been submitted:
"we do have to wait for the proposals to come forward"
The proposal has been put forward, it is the CGI proposal, and on this proposal the public debate has been ongoing. I believe the official public debate has just expired, or is about to in a day or so.
I also find it hard to believe that Paul Scotchie is "neither for or against" the CGI planning application, as he has supported it to the hilt from the very start.
And it's hard to believe that Paul "is waiting to see" what offers are made, as these have been made in the CGI planning application.
Obviously Paul means that he's waiting for it to be approved, so as to then see what other offers are made.
Also, any decision of a supposed WHPS committee to NOT oppose the CGI planning application before the closing date of the public consultation period in which to make representations to DDC, equates to being in favour of the CGI proposal.
This is definitely the case of WHPS, who are fully aware of the planning application and have followed it, also being present at some of the meetings on Western Heights.
It is on these grounds that the Western Heights group are rightfully to be considered as wanting to preserve Western Heights, and being to a large extent in accord with English Heritage, except the idea of building a hotel, should receive due recognition from DDC as a discussions partner, as a community that wishes to preserve the Heights, including Farthingloe.
