We hope to have the site up and running and reporting on the latest developments with Go Ape within the next week.
Until then, find out a little more about us here.
Welcome to the wonderful world that is GoApe. You will not fight alone. We are in year 2 and whilst we have fought retrospectively we have gained immense knowledge along the way all of which is at your disposal as and when you need it. Regardless of what GoApe will say, the intrusion to the tranquility and beauty of the area has to be experienced to be believed. You need to galvanise support as soon as possible. We will monitor your campaign with interest.
If you thought “The Government” has a lot to answer to, wait untill you’ve had 2 years of knocking down brick walls that “Local Government” will keep building.
The “Friends of Lever Park” consist of honest, easy going and genuine people, and they have had their outlook on honesty turned upon it’s head.
In our case, the park is protected by the 1902 Liverpool Corporation Act. And what did the Council do, they ignored it and their own Constitution, infact they ignored everything.
They didn’t even send out neighbour consultation letters, nobody knew about the application untill after it was passed.
They tried something similar in 1996-7, and failed because of massive objections (over 5000).
We haven’t finished with the Council yet, and we have just sumitted a new complaint with more to follow.
The complaint is this:
May we respectfully bring it to your attention that this is a new complaint following the publication of the Local Government Ombudsman’s final decision with regard to investigation (08 012 725AS/CRB). The investigation found the Council guilty of maladministration when it used Delegated Powers to decide a planning application (08/00553/FUL). Therefore the meeting to discuss this application (08/00553/FUL) on the 22nd July/08 was illegal and any decision arrived at was a nullity, as the Council failed to follow its scheme of delegation. We are of the opinion that the Corporate Director (Business) didn’t have the authority to make any decisions at this meeting, because it went against the Constitution of the Council with regard “applications excluded from Delegated Powers.” We believe that because everything decided at the meeting (with regard planning application 08/00553/FUL) dated the 22nd July/08 was a nullity as identified, the Council should have removed the planning consent from its registers of local land charges, and the various other registers that the Planning Authority is required to keep under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
If you need any advice please don’t hesitate to call either myself or Philjay.
First of all you must ensure that the Council doesn’t violate any of it’s development plans or policies for that area, they will be set down in the Council’s Constitution.
And make sure that they charge the correct fee’s, they will try and get away with only charging for a reception cabin.
It must be for anything in, on, over or under the site size.
In other words the fee must be calculated for the whole of the site, and if this fee isn’t paid in full with the application (it’s void).
Don’t object just because you don’t like it (they won’t consider that)
stick to policies and rules.
Wishing you all the best…….
