BETRAYED by Liverpool City Council planning committee
The Planning Game.
'Screw the skylarks' seems to be the planning committee's attitude regarding the Garden Festival Site.
At the meeting on Monday 21st May in the Council Chambers at Liverpool Town Hall 'outline' planning permission for the flats was given and full planning permission for the 'manicured' park.
We've had feedback that we made an excellent case which was then totally bypassed, but the council officers were huddled in a corner having an uncomfortable time and the developers (Felltree McLean !) when questioned about tree felling outside the licence actually hung their heads in shame and a few blushed.
They claimed these extra trees needed to be felled due to them being dead and also anti social behaviour at the Festival Garden Site, but the only bad behaviour seems to be theirs.
This was enforced when they were informed that the Forestry Commission had definitely Not given permission for all this destruction.
There had been a tip off by a councillor regarding the outcome before the meeting started and if the decision hadn't already been made in advance to give approval, at minimum the decision would have been deferred.
This is Garbage on a Garbage Dump. What a STITCH UP !
There is a meeting on Wednesday May 23rd at the usual place to discuss the next step....possibly a Public Enquiry.......We'll keep you posted.

GARDEN FESTIVAL SITE TREES ILLEGALLY FELLED ACCORDING TO FELLING LICENCE
The felling licence 010/56/05-06 was issued on 20/10/05 by
The Forestry Commission, North west England by Peil Wyke, Bassenthwaite Lake, Cockermouth, Cumbria. CA13 9YG. It was sent to :
Langtree McLean
Enterprise House
28 Parkway
Deeside Industrial Park
Deeside
Flintshire.
CH5 2NS.
It appears that over 50% of the growing trees have been ILLEGALLY felled. 204 oak trees have been destroyed even though it was agreed that NONE would be felled. I trust this information is accurate.

PROPOSED EYESORE FOR OTTERSPOOL
Over a 1000 trees have been chopped down BEFORE PLANNING CONSENT on the Garden Festival Site...some with nesting birds in them.We need all the trees we can get to help make oxygen so we can breathe in this polluted world ! Especially being opposite Ellesmere Port's toxic industrial estates.This is what the property developers want to build.They are also planning to take some of the prom. Surely the council can keep the green space rather than allow more luxury flats to dominate the area? A third of the new luxury apartments in town are still empty!
We need as much parkland as possible in a city and this isn't good enough.A lot of schools have had their playing fields sold off and lots of people don't have gardens so it is vital we keep areas to relax in.
If you want get involved please e mail Lucy Page at savethefestivalgardens@googlemail.com or by post to :
