So do I; it was embarrassing to be told that the reason it failed was all down to the ENPA, when in reality it was the trustees who hadn't carried out due process that was needed at the time. Which might sound 'Bloody obvious' now, but as a...

@Jamessquared - to be fair to Colin, it seems to me the previous planning application failed because the L&B didn’t do exactly that. I hope they’ve learned the lesson.

Reading all of this makes me wonder if let say, a behind-closed-doors meeting has not taken place at some time with the one question that needs to have been asked: what the hell have we got to do to get this passed? The few construction and...

@RailWest - read the report and draw your own conclusions. 25 pages are given to detailing the responses, usually by professionals, on behalf of statutory consultee organisations. Only 5 pages summarising the public comments. That kind of...

This is how ENPA Planning Officers carried out that exercise in 2025. May-06-2025-Planning-Committee.pdf Consultee representations are reported from pages 6 to 31. Public representations summarised (all 178 of them) on pages 32-38....

I can't speak much for the history of this one as I'd no doubt be reading the same resources as you, but the Bahamas Locomotive Society have a couple of interesting videos on there site showing those days in all their glory. The Dinting Railway...

The Dinting Railway Centre

Hi all, I have just been watching a couple of those urban explorer videos on YouTube, both at the old The Dinting Railway Centre as the subject. One of them was better in that he had also added some footage from when the centre was open....

Who would be on the planning committee eh? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The planning process does have to be somewhat subjective, but in the examples I have seen, particularly those involving the L&B, much weight is normally given to...

1. Comparative numbers of the number of ‘valid’ (or invalid) objections or supportive representations are impossible to obtain until the consultation period ends. 2. The actual number of objections is irrelevant. The most important consideration...
