or "No Woman should be judge of her own cause" !
Last Friday, I received a large brown package from DCLG (the Department for Communities and Local Government) : the Secretaries of State for Communities and Transport decision letters following the Thames Gateway Bridge Public Inquiry (June 2005 to May 2006) and the Conclusions of the Planning Inspectors's report. The Inspectors recommend outright that planning permission for this proposed Transport for London scheme be refused, on the grounds that it does not comply with sustainable planning and transport policy, and that the purported economic regeneration case for the project is inadequate, whilst its environmental impact would be unacceptable. Well done Planning Inspectorate ! However, the inquiry is now proposed to re-open because there has obviously been immense lobbying from scheme promoter TfL, and their supporters (which include DCLG and DfT).
