The reason I withdrew was because of predetermination. My knowledge and honest opinion is that there is no way I can support the basis for the officer opinion - that creates a strong element of predetermination in my thinking, which would make my very presence as a voting member open to legal dispute. That is why I chose to withdraw.<br /><br />Of course FDC officers are looking at legal implications and future cost. But I have asked for evidence of precedent for withdrawal of planning permission - to date I have had none.Martin Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01176326240748841872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694454756676640378.post-35788300460590553722012-08-27T13:28:13.388-07:002012-08-27T13:28:13.388-07:00Are you saying that having given a perfectly reaso...Are you saying that having given a perfectly reasonable consent to a supermarket, that you can now backtrack and withdraw, just because somebody else has applied for another??. Would Sainsbury's have even given us a look if Tesco's had not got their permission? Tesco's can make this pay as it is on the same delivery route as Stanground and March.<br />I am sure that Fenland officers are looking at the costs of legal actions, if this consent is withdrawn.<br />Not sure that surveys of this sort are very representative - we rely on you to have all the facts and see the bigger picture, which those who even bothered to respond do not.<br />I would encourage you to vote with your knowledge and honets opinionFPnoreply@blogger.com
