Nightingales 1 Developers 0

In a previous post, I told you how Medway council's plan to build 5000 new homes on a piece of land being used by one of UK's largest nightingale populations, was under review.

Well, the government's planning inspectors have decided to reject the plan. Amongst their reasons, they said that Medway had not followed the proper procedures, making their decision without considering the impacts. They said that the environmental impacts would have been significant.

So once again, Medway are angry at a decision that's gone against them, and once again they've called upon the government to sort it out.

Medway should just quit whining and admit they've made a multi-million pound cock-up. Whether they agree with the environment winning out over housing (just for once) is irrelevant. The fact is they didn't follow the rules. Get over it councillors.
