I write further to my letter of September 2007. I continue to ask that you reject the CMS dated 7th August 2007 but, possibly, for even more reasons.

I did not address in my earlier letter Condition 6 (Section 40. (6)) of the Planning Inspector’s decision granting conditional planning permission of the above site which says that the “Development shall not commence until details of the junction of the proposed vehicular access and the highway and the turning facilities within the site have been approved in writing by the local planning authority” except to say that the information provided in the CMS was incorrect and that the police, fire and ambulance services and Transport for London had not been asked what they thought about the Highgate Road being obstructed for at least three years.

Having looked at certain papers that I saw when using the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I now see that the Council agreed Planning Officer Adele Castle’s suggestion, approved by one Tim Cronin, that the above condition had been complied with on 2 June 2004. That the Council should have agreed the recommendation, least of all that it should have been made, shows serious lack of attention to duty by everyone concerned.

The Delegated Report prepared by Adele Castle and authorised by Tim Cronin which is not dated but which bears the stamp ‘RECOMMENDATION AGREED ON BEHALF OF THE COUNCIL, 2ND JUNE 2004” says nothing about the junction of the proposed vehicular access and the highway — Highgate Road — except that “It is proposed to enter the site via the existing access from Highgate Road”.
