Was hoping it was .. much needed parking for the theatre. Wonder what is the difference between their selling price and buying price then ?
Still, expect the money they made from selling in the first place was needed at the time for more desperate needs ?

Hello.......... i'm back 
Hi Park ... thought you had dropped of the Earth.
Re. the increased appeals, you are not possibly suggesting that the elected officers are turning Planning Applications down for political gain are you ?LOL.
Sure there could an element of this at times.
However, what the LET has omitted to say is the actual increase in the number of appeals .. well, might have, haven't seen the article.
In 2006>2007 15 appeals were launched. 11 disallowed, 4 allowed.
In 2007>2008 17 appeals were launched.10 disallowed, 6 allowed, 1 split decision.
So not many are there really? Not really a percentage increase really, just percentage increase against the number of planning applications.
Have a look at this to see if you agree :-

Against other authorities, we don't appear to have that high a percentage really.
