All that hard earned waisted all they had to do was post the question will we win or not on TDO and they would have got the answer for free

How much does an appeal cost ??????? Or is that the end of the line.

A similar thing failed in Sheffield a few years back

At the permission stage different costs apply for a written application and an oral hearing. For oral, you are looking at two thousand five hundred pounds for the winning party, plus your own costs. I suspect the exercise would have cost in the region of at least five grand. A full case would have cost in the region of 20 - 30 grand depending on the complexity of the case?

According to the radio the Association have to pay costs (I'm guessing the councils) of £10,000 , on top of what they paid the barrister (a figure of more than £10k has been said for that). Whoooops!!

If I was in their shoes I think I would have fought this case, but as I'm on the other side of the argument I'm glad they lost.

I suppose it makes sense....a council can change a policy despite leading people to believe they have a structured system in place and they are accountable to nobody...

The above aside, were the local association members of a National Body or Union?

They did fight it but the application was refused, the only alternative would have been to apeal the failed application. The judge obviously told these guys exactly what we told them, that their application was unfounded and the councils decision was not only lawful but was arrived at in a perfectly lawful way.

Another hard learned lesson for taxi drivers.

And that just leaves the carry on at the station to sort out.

I cant understand what there is to sort out, either it is on station land or it isn't? Don't these idiots know who owns what land?

I don't think a judge would be the least bit interested as to whether they were or not, when arriving at his decision!

The local association were always shovelling sand uphill & getting wet pi**ing in the wind on this one.

With the owners having to find the money to pay there legal bill and costs they may have to sell up so there could be a nice space for you after all

I think the "fighting fund" came from the refund of the survey fees from the Council, a figure of £250 each was mentioned somewhere.

I suppose the question is now.. what will happen when the three- areas become one.... will they all derestrict.... and where is the busiest place... will they all head for that.
