Well , they told a group of residents attending the inspection of the site, on 31 March, to contact the Planning Inspectorate if, after 5 weeks, we had heard nothing! We have heard nothing so off went my e-mail!
The reply stated " "The file is still with the Inspector and I cannot advise you as to when a decision will be made on the appeal.".
So that's it for the time being. We will, I assume, have to wait until after the election.
