"no person other than *myself/the applicant was an owner (Note 2) of any part of the land to which the application relates, at the beginning of the period of 21 days ending with the date of this application..."
The modified application has been completed with Certificate B, stating:
"The applicant has served notice on every person other than the applicant who, at the beginning of the period of 21 days ending with the date of the accompanying application was owner (Note B) of any part of the land to which the application relates."
The persons to whom this notice was served are stated to be 'Foxmead Ltd'.
Why was the original application completed using Certificate A, which should be done
"...where the applicant is the only owner and the land is not an agricultural holding" (Note 1)?
Was this an administrative error?
Was it in response to public scrutiny using objections lodged based on our proforma letter?
Why did Dundee City Council claim to be "the only owner" of land it sold to the Al-Maktoum Foundation in 2004?
The details of the excambion of land are being withheld from the public, and the "urgent" council meeting held on 22 February 2010 excluded members of the public and the press. Isn't it about time that the full facts surrounding these negotiations were disclosed so that the public can be assured this is in the best interest of the public purse?
Why am I not surprised to hear another error relating to this project!? Will DCC not realise that you guys will thoroughly scrutinise the details even if the seniors at DCC will not. Why are the politicians not being more thorough? Thanks for flagging this up.
ReplyDeleteSomething very fishy is going on here and legal or not the details will soon be rooted out.
ReplyDeleteWill the SNP continue to pursue this desperate and expensive project while cutting back hard on Council jobs and services?
If so then Alex Salmond is going to get dragged centrestage into this mess.
A perfect storm is brewing for the SNP administration.
