Appeals don't follow the same format, they take quite a while and the decision is made by a planning officer not councillors. The original decision would be taken into account but so would the recommendation to approve from the planning officers that was provided to the committee. <br /><br />As for other options: I suspect leaving Bristol would be disastrous for the club (and I can't see any land available for a grind elsewhere in the city). people would travel to Gloucester for a while ( year or two) but that would drop off and you'd have to replace the Bristol membership that stopped renewing (and most of the membership come from Bristol). I just can't see that happening. <br /><br /> And youngsters? Last year we had loads of them (and not as much of Batty) which was excellent. More of the same needed.HackneyHazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076155900784347930noreply@blogger.com
