Due to extreme busyness I don't think I had a rant on here about the Evil Property Developer's latest move. He put in an application to build two three-bedroom houses on the land. The plans showed the trees marked far too small - about the size of saplings - and no way could you get those two houses on the site without bisecting the oak and throwing away half of it.

Thus followed the usual round of letter-writing and mobilisation of local residents, putting together protest packs, contacting local councillors and the like.

Now Redbridge Council have responded: DECISION:- Refused Permission/Consent

The reasons, in the letter to [livejournal.com profile] forbinproject and me, are reproduced here in tedious detail. )
Translated from Officialese I reckon that's Sod off and stop breaking Rule 7. Dunno what an Adopted Unitary Development Plan is but it seems to be working in our favour.

The war's not won yet. He'll now appeal - he has to - so then it'll be another trip to the Area Planning Committee, not as scary after last time when I spoke, and the time before when [livejournal.com profile] forbinproject spoke, because now we know the drill. I think he'll lose that battle too, then there are two choices - either he'll appeal to the Government or he'll put in an application for a single house and we'll have to do the whole thing again. But I should have more time then. :-)
