I have been watching the threads on this debate with interest and I understand that some of you think that DM is nit picking, however, he does have a valid point.

If this goes to debate and a hearing then the facts quoted will be scrutinised to see how they are affected by the proposed development. As DM say’s from your web quote "The three sisters is the one local area where many of us can walk and relax."?, he is correct, it’s not the only place. Three Sisters is the gateway to a whole network of footpaths, cycle tracks, bridleways and green spaces, this is the point to emphasise. Also, the proposed development is not on the Three Sisters, it is on land adjacent to the Three Sisters and is an extension to the South Lancs Industrial Estate, a point that any adjudicator would take into account. There is also mention that the development would be 400 yards from the Three Sisters Lake, again this would carry no weight as the nearest industrial unit Georgia Pacific is only 20 yards away, and on the other side of the lake is the Aintree Racing Drivers School (or Three Sisters Race Track if you prefer). The only impact the development would have on the Three Sisters is the migration of wild life from the development site onto the Three Sisters.

Just because I have emphasised these points does not mean that I am in favour of this development, far from it, but facts need to be quantified otherwise they mean nothing.
