I dropped in and paid a first visit yesterday on our way back from holiday, so a few impressions. Firstly, on the positive side - the setting of Woody Bay is divine, and the place oozes SR atmosphere. [ATTACH] The necessary additions that...

>>>I felt the place really needed a museum of smaller artefacts.... I would agree - it's one of those 'little things' which has the potential to add a lot to the 'visitor experience'. Of course, the old Assoication did once have just such a...

I would be happy simply with them getting Planning Permission, at least that would be progress and no need to 'force' anything. After that it will all depend upon manpower, funds and - hopefully - little or nothing by way of crippling 'Grampian...

You may be right on all counts Keith, but.... would it not be nicer to be able to mark 1935/2035 with some significant achievement (such as an extension to PE) ratherthan just 'more of the same'? In fact I suspect that - based on current...

I would not disagree with any of what you have said on a general basis. However, on the matter of 'facts' and 'assumptions' it remains the case that there are a number of unanswered questions to which the answers appear not to be contained in...

@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.

That would seem to imply two things:- 1. No weight is given to either (a) the proportion of support to object comments, nor (b) the (perceived) validity of any objections that are not about demonstrating something which is outwith planning...

Nice thought, but... If you mean that you slip a coach at KL while the rest of the train continues to PE, then who and how will they change the points at the new KL 'junction' and from where will you get the 'trip' engine to haul the...

IIIRC from an initial reading, the answer sadly is only two. Space at PE is very tight, clearances under the bridge are very tight, and I suspect that the reverse curve at the approach will merely aggravate the situation, so trying to get the...

My concern about the role of objections in the planning process is that IMHO to at least some extent the view taken of them by the Planning Committee will always be subjective. For example, exactly how do you decide to 'weigh' (say) a small...
