A PPG17 Study shows our area needs at least 8 more tennis courts
Anyone for tennis ? Not if the Planning Department has anything to do with it
t the meeting of Plans Panel West that took place on the 12th August 2010, planning officer Paul Gough told elected members that the Leeds Girls High tennis courts are not needed as there’s no demand for additional tennis courts in the area. He based his claim partly on the fact that six tennis courts [...]
The Planning Department tells councillors that all the historic Main School Building will be retained, when the intention is to demolish 50% of it
In a report submitted to Plan Panel West on the 12th August 2010, Chief Planning Officer Phil Crabtree claimed that under plans submitted by the school, only later additions to the historic Main School Building would be demolished. And at the meeting of Plans Panel West that took place on the 12th August 2010, senior [...]
An Exercise in Coercion ?
At today’s meeting of Plans Panel West, councillors were given a mind numbing cocktail of misinformation and omission which might have fooled Solomon. And in case that wasn’t enough, there was even a bribe thrown in and a threat that the School might sue if no decision was made on the Leeds Girls High planning [...]
Who runs Leeds, our elected councillors, or unelected bureaucrats at the Planning Department?

Public meeting on the Leeds Girls High planning application – 7pm Monday 7.12.09 at City Church
he Grammar School at Leeds has now re-presented its planning applications for the Leeds Girls High site. These are practically the same as the ones rejected by the community a year ago, but with a few minor changes. The effect is still the same : building development on the Protected Playing Pitches (the pitches have [...]
Public meeting about the anti-social behaviour caused by residents of Devonshire Hall
few weeks ago, a young man urinated in public on Cumberland Road. It happened early in the evening just a few feet away from me, well before you’d have thought someone his age would be the worse for drink. So when it was announced that there was to be a meeting to discuss anti-social [...]
The special relationship
This afternoon I went to the Civic Hall to a meeting of the city centre planning committee to object to the planning department’s handling of an item on the agenda – an application from Leeds University to build a massive warehouse-like building on the former Grammar School Protected Playing Pitch.
