I have just heard, via the Echo which has been in contact with Nottingham Council for comment that, "Nottingham nor its representatives attended Tuesday's Development Control and Traffic Management Committee because they had already put in an Appeal." 
Apparently the Appeal has been submitted by Aberdeen Asset Management the Nottingham Council Pension Fund managers. Strange because according to the land registry it is Nottingham Council which owns Little Chalvedon Hall Farm - no mention of the pension fund.
The appeal is apparently on the basis that the committee should have met to make a decision before 15th June.
In my personal opinion it would not have been possible for Basildon Council to make a decision before that date because not all the consultees had responded.
In addition, the Residents Association made detailed responses to the various planning documents highlighting a number of queries, perceived weaknesses and flaws. The Planning Department sent copies of our responses to Meridian Strategic Development but we have never received a response to tell us that any of our points were wrong.
In any case, I feel that it is totally discourteous that neither Nottingham Council or its representatives attended Tuesday's meeting to hear the views of local people and their elected councillors. Would Nottingham Council treat its own electorate in the same way?
