Statement by Actoris Ltd / Morrisons Supermarkets PLC, to the 2nd June Strategic Planning Committee meeting(NB : To be read in conjunction / with our letters of 26th April and 31st May 2011)The Strategic Planning Committee of 9 February resolved that consideration of each of the remaining foodstore applications “be deferred for a period of no more than five months pending further negotiations and information”.Notwithstanding this clear and unequivocal resolution, the recommendation on each application/report requests Members agree to an extension of some 3 months to allow for further progress to be made on each application.This recommendation is, in our view and in light of the above, unwarranted and unreasonable.Moreover, it is not certain that the suggested re-reporting / determination date (22nd September) will, in practice, be achieved and allow for decisions to be made at that stage.We accordingly urge members to refuse to accept officer’s recommendation for a further extension of time for the reasons set out below, and request that our application is re-reported to SPC at the earliest opportunity (now the 30th June SPC meeting).
Were this not agreed, and given the perpetual redefinition of timescales and determination dates, an appeal against non-determination is the only course of action open to Actoris / Morrisons to achieve certainty.Jewson’s SiteThe report on our application paints a picture that implies that we have lots more to do to address outstanding matters when, in actual fact, the outstanding matters on our scheme (which is of course inherently acceptable in conservation heritage terms) are either agreed, will be agreed before 30th June, or are matters that Members can and should be willing to leave to Officers to conclude under delegation. The matters are sufficiently advanced in discussion with Officers that Members ought to feel they have enough information on which to base an informed and robust decision.ING South Quay SiteIt is questioned and contested as to how Officers of the Authority have reasonably arrived at their recommendation in respect to this application (i.e. to consider it reasonable and apt to provide an extension of time for this scheme to be reworked, re-presented and reconsidered) – not least as the report records a number of statements which are either inconsistent, misrepresentative and/or pre-determine the position.The need for the applicant to obtain internal consent and a commitment to radically reappraise the proposals is not a material consideration, nor are whether there has been an important shift in approach by the developer in engaging with key stakeholders and the community representatives, nor whether they are committed to finding a workable solution. It is the outcome, not the approach, that is key and relevant.The position remains that, as Officers put it “a significant amount of work will need to be done within a tight timescale”. From our dialogue with Officers, and from the report, it is clear that not a single revised plan has been tabled to CC to date, nor have such plans been subject to assessment and consultation.ConclusionsThe ING retail led proposals for South Quay have been afforded more than sufficient time and opportunity to devise an acceptable and agreeable proposal. The prospects of this ever being achieved are extremely doubtful in light of the views expressed by multiple parties. Given the commentary by Officers in the ING committee report regarding the scale and nature of the changes to ING's proposals/scheme, it is highly likely that the changes needed to ING's application effectively render it a resubmission and for which, not least, a new ES may be necessary.
