Public Inquiry - Day 8 The Public Inquiry started at City Hall, Bradford at 10 am Tuesday 21st February 2012. The Inspector and representatives of all parties undertook a site visit on Friday 2nd March. Unfortunately the bridge broke down so we were unable to demonstrate the traffic build up during a standard bridge closure. However, it did demonstrate how long it would take British Waterways to turn out to a fault. It took the engineer just over an hour to get there, then another 20 minutes until he decided he was unable to effect a repair. At that time he requested a contractor to attend the bridge. The Inquiry will end on Tuesday 6th March. It would be good if we could get a good turnout for the last day. FUNDRAISING Target £60,000 Donations received £60,838 as at 21st February 2012 They said it couldn't be done!! A really big thank you to everyone who has donated, I am really overwhelmed by the way everyone has rallied round and backed us to enable us to take this fight to the Public Inquiry and Secretary of State. FUNDRAISING EVENT - Brass Band Concert We had a full house and a great night with THE CITY OF BRADFORD BRASS BAND on Saturday 18th February 2012 at Bingley Parish Church. The Band led by Musical Director (and local lad) Lee Skipsey were excellent and ensured that in addition to raising funds for GAG everyone had a great evening. Bridge Applications REFUSED AGAIN!!! Shipley Planning Panel rejected 11/03769/MAF and 11/03775/CAC.
At the Planning panel on 18th January 2012 the Councillors again refused these applications by a vote of 6 to 1. Again they stood firm against the Planning Officers who surprisingly again recommended approval. We WON AGAIN!!! Sty Lane is no longer included in the RUDP.
Following a blunder by the Council Officers none of the outstanding housing sites in the RUDP were saved by the Council and accordingly the Council has removed Sty lane and others from the RUDP leaving these sites open to legal challenge. We WON!!! Shipley Planning Panel has REJECTED application 11/01203/MAO.
At the Planning Panel on 23rd September 2011 the Panel Members rejected the Sty Lane application by a vote of 6 to 1. We wish to thank them for having the courage to stand against the Planning Officers who were recommending approval. We also wish to thank all of our supporters for their support and donations to enable us to fight this development.
