Hi ivans, I have a different pov, I dont think it is bad news, I think it's actually good news. Let me explain. EDR have kicked this can down the road for 7 years, this was the 3rd planning extension request (for 1 year). They have not even built an entrance road in this time, presumably due to lack of money or having considered it a low priority compared to other PEDLs. Now that money is pouring in from Wressle, EDR should be in a position this year to make significant progress on 2 or 3 other sites. To have been granted a 1 year extension would be a distraction from these site as well as as drain on their cash. They can now take their time preparing an appeal and perhaps be granted an extension in Q4 or Q1 2023 when they have a much better idea of their cash situation. I honestly dont think they could/would have done anything with this site during a 1 year extension. My guess is they will simply leave it be for the moment.
