The Same Again?

The building being erected behind Fairthorn as seen from Blacka is looking to be a substantial structure. I have no great hope that it will fit in better than Fairthorn itself. I have been corresponding with the Planning Department about that mistake since earlier this year. Their latest answer to my questions states that Fairthorn is not absolved from being cited as a 'surrounding' building therefore its errors can be repeated in nearby developments.

It also claims that similar two and three storey buildings are in the vicinity which themselves justified Fairthorn. This is nonsense. The statement made in the letter which is obviously accurate is that each development will be 'considered on its merits'. This means that officers will make their own minds up without being tied to previously agreed policies.
