Roger Wright Strikes Again

[Dave2002]

Is the development something which is currently speculation, or has a planning application been filed? I really don't know much about it - maybe it's only at pre-planning stages. If there is an application in place, then it will be possible to check it out, and oppose it, support it or modify it as is thought necessary. Which local authority would deal with this?

Car park, indeed? If only Ben B has composed a Richard III opera, everyone would know what to do...

There is a Building of the Car Park Overture, though, isn't there? (I think MG-T is including it in one of the CBSO concerts.)

The absence of lighting in the field areas when parking spreads out on the relatively few days when the Snape complex is full of people is a problem for people who are not too good on their feet but there are better ways of meeting this need than building a huge new car park. Most of the times I visit - several times a month - it's easy to park. The furthest parking point from the main concert hall is I would guess about 250 metres.

Many of the "other things" are rehearsal spaces and the other performing spaces that Aldeburgh Music has built
not just shops etc

The "concert hall" is (as with many others) only part of the story

Quite, I wasn't forgetting those. - but I think they may be only a small part of the problem - have a a look at Shops

Suffolk Coastal. It doesn't look as if a plan has been filed.

If I understand the various articles correctly, it looks as if the proposed car park would be here, across the river (which is behind that bank on the left), connected to the Snape complex by a footbridge -

And then the Consecration of the Car Park.

This is the area that was under three feet of water in 2013. The Maltings complex itself narrowly avoided the same fate.

According to the Localism Act, 2011 - it's not the listeners who should have a say, but the local residents..

Sorry, Dave, I didn’t make things very clear. What I was trying to say was that if you changed the ‘residents’ and the ‘festival’ to ‘listeners’ and ‘Radio3’, it would become something we used to hear a lot from WR; hence the thread title.

Need a big yellow taxi to take away RW?

And then the Consecration of the Car Park.

Or, the "concretation" ... ?

You got a solid argument there?

No, I'm just pleased to s ... oh, never mind!
