I wouldn't get too excited about fire brigade concerns.

I seem to remember in relation to the Tyson Road development the Fire Brigade expressed concerns about being able to reach one of the blocks the access route to which was through an underground car park.

You have to presume the Planning Department did not share their concerns although interesting I only found out about the issue when I submitted a freedom of interest request (which the Council fought tooth and nail).

Ask yourself this question; if the Council are proposing this development do you really think that the Planning Department are going to raise any objections?

The only real question is where next?
