North Dover Wind Park proposal - In the hands of the Inspectorate

6^th June 2008

North Dover Council had ample time to make a decision on this application, but refused to do so. They we're well outside of the statutory timeframe for doing so. We decided it would be better to refer the matter to a higher authority as NDC clearly had problems coming to terms with it. In our opinion NDC prevaricated because they preferred this decision to be made on appeal, which is an abdication of their responsibility.

We chose not to attend NDC's recent meeting. We felt that a six or seven hour drive in order to speak for three minutes on an issue that had already been decided - was not just a waste of time, but pollution for no good reason. We are looking forward to this application receiving a fair hearing from a more competent body. That's what appeals are for.
