Portsmouth Water – Flooded with objections?
It seems that when we wrote this piece back on August 5, we were not alone in questioning the 'evidence' provided by Portsmouth Water's 'consultants'. Almost two weeks later, on August 17, the Environment Agency made the same point as a mandatory consultee: (Note*: It took a further week before this letter was loaded to … Continue reading Portsmouth Water – Flooded with objections?

The ‘Pfizer site’ at 32 New Lane – “When you’re in a hole, stop digging”
We're getting tired of reporting on this one. We're certainly tired of wading through the nonsense that the applicant's 'transport consultant' turns out. The Kingsbridge application to redevelop the old Pfizer cold store site at 32 New Lane might have seemed like a bright idea to somebody who doesn't know the town, but for local … Continue reading The ‘Pfizer site’ at 32 New Lane – “When you’re in a hole, stop digging”

Portsmouth Water – Lack of ‘Master Plan’ transparency
