Christmas has come and gone and finally NANC have found out what is happening. THe developers have forced Derbyshire County Council to take the application back to the planning committee and make a decision. It is all very rushed so a reasonable decision is not to be expected. It was only last week that we found out that the decision is to be made next week on the 26th January. We still dont know the time and we also know that the planners have made a new report on the basis of a revised transport route through Notts but we haven’t seen the report and time is getting short. Is this how democracy is run in this country? Leave everything till the last possible minute so that interested parties don’t get a chance to have their input? NANC will be represented at the hearing – again. We don’t know if the people from Pinxton will be there.
We did find out a useful piece of information and that is ATH have deep pockets and short arms. They are only paying 10p/tonne into the community fund whereas other despoilers of the land are paying up to 42p/tonne. So not only are Pinxton being put upon with the transport but they are being short changed as well.
