The Secretary of State has put back the decision on Newmarket to 19th June 2012 to allow comments in respect of the application in relation to the new National Planning Policy Framework which came into force on March 27th.

We'll have to wait a bit longer I'm afraid. Nothing sinister, I think the SoS is making sure that everything is done by the book and totally transparant. Still very confident of a positive outcome.

Christ!!!!!!!!!

FFS. What else can he need to know??!!

Don't think he needs to know anything. I think he is just being thorough and ensuring that when he makes his decision no one can say he hasn't followed the procedures to the letter.

Apparently he needs time to finish his dinner before making any announcement!

so is it going to be that date or could we get an early decision ?

frustrating

Comments by whom?
To give the anti lobby further time to formulate protests.
I smell a rat I am afraid.
I hate to say it , but this is just what my experience in life led me to expect.

This is an absolute joke!!!
The new framework makes NM a certainty so why on earth they need another month is beyond me!!!!
Frustration overload!!!!!

One good thing i suppose is that the ldf reports should be done by then which can only help a positive outcome.

Pointless giving a deadline when it can just be changed. still its only 20 days later than originally stated, in the grand scheme of things 3 weeks is nothing. Buggers up TRB's countdown though!

Just pass it already, there's no reason not to. Needless delay really, isn't it?

Don't panic!

SC has beaten me to putting this up on here, but we see this as a minor delay in the grand scheme of things.

The excercise is nothing more than another backside covering procedure by the SoS and, if anything (and IA will explain more later), it probably helps our cause in the long run as the new planning system is much more developer freindly!

So it's a delay, and I'll have to re-set the timer, but nothing more!

HTH

D-61 and counting! #newmarketnewopportunity

No its a pain in the proverbial. I'm at my sisters wedding in cyprus that day!!! Finding out is gunna be a bugger!

How many n's in planning? I cant believe how much red tape there has been for our application!! It seems everytime we see a deadline it gets preceded by MORE legislation putting it back even further!!! fed up now!!!
