Well done to all the Save Our Village campaigners for achieving the best possible outcome - the developers now have to sit down with the planning committee chair to take heed of the concerns raised by residents about the height of the proposed development. I have been working with Labour Councillors Paul Fairweather (Council Lead on Gay issues), Mary Murphy (Council Lead on Lesbian issues), & Pat Karney (City Centre Spokesperson) to ensure that the residents veiws were represented. We vigorously opposed this development arguing amongst many things that it is inappropriate for this area. I feel this is was only outcome possible given the support for the development from the business community and certain community organisations. The developer has not got what was wanted, the campaigners have achieved a small victory. We will continue to lobby the council and remind them of the residents objections. The campaign has succeeded in opening a debate within the Labour Party about the planning process which has not been reformed since the last Tory government!
