The Large One
Who's Next?
There is a train of thought which says that the High Court may ask for one or two points Lewes have challenged to be reverted back to Prescott, probably the technical points ostensibly for clarification of planning policies. This would relieve some of the financial burden Lewes District Council would be asked to bear after the High Court hearings. A financial burden they are still SERIOUSLY under-estimating.
However, as sure as I am sitting here typing this, I am TOTALLY convinced that Prescott will do what it takes to ensure that the stadium is given permission. Norman Baker knows this, and hence wants Prescott removed from the process.
Don't forget, Norman Baker hasn't voiced public support for Lewes District Council's course of action - he believes that they will 'probably' lose, and was officially 'surprised' at what they are doing (this is Parliamentary-speak for 'utterly pissed off'. This is why he is instead gunning for Prescott, rather than aligning himself with LDC.
