Saddened - my basic problem with the action of the association is that it should take into account the interests of all members - not just the few objectors to the proposal. The estate is family friendly and also supports a number of home businesses - the interests of those members were ignored.

There were local objectors, and only one formal supporter to the application - but that is absolutely normal - have you ever written to support an application that benefits you? The planning process took into account the benefits of the enterprise to the community balanced against the far fetched allegations of nuisance (noise?smoking?! parking!?!?) and over-ruled the objectors.

My issue is that the association has spent money supporting an action which may (we don't know) not be supported by the majority and brings the area into disrepute. This is my only interest in this case. Of course the consensus opinion could be established if the association would call a meeting promptly - rather than apparently using delaying tactics.
