The Woodland Trust have now posed objections to T's move to Strathallan. At first I thought all of this stuff was just a way of getting the move more publicity but this latest intervention seems quite serious actually. If The Woodland Trust are against the move (due to danger to wildlife and irreversible damage to woodland) then this could pose serious problems.

Can you imagine how much it would cost DF concerts if it was cancelled, an obscene amount! Even if it was cancelled for one year only it would take a lot of money to get t back and running the year after with all of the money lost in the previous year. Very much doubt it will be cancelled

It would just remain at Balado for another year if they don't get the go ahead for Strathallan, that will be the Plan B.

But am 99% sure it will go ahead at the new site, though maybe not :)

You can be sure he'll have had word of how the council will go before the move was even announced.

I think you're correct but when serious objections get submitted they can't get swept under the carpet. Planning can't be pushed through without due process.

Still think they'll get go ahead tho

I've sat thru plenty of (English) licence hearings, I know how they go.

The objections have to be considered, and then a judgement made on whether those objections should stop the event.

So the objections have to get heard, but everything of those objections can still be 100% swept under the carpet. The decision can only ever be about a 'personal judgement' made by those who are considering the licence application.

    • It does feel like there's a push back against net zero from both left and right, but especially the right. Probably since Trump I guess, but even before Trump you had the tea party and Sarah Palin thing, but over here the right were on board with the issue of climate change and the need to address it, from Thatcher through to Johnson. That has now changed, first it was the populist right, not it is mainstream, with Badenoch making the two prerequisites for standing for the Tories being against net zero, and for leaving the ECHR. You can be an ex neo-nazi as long as you are against net zero. At least many now seem to accept the climate change is happening and it is caused by us, but they now say well it will be a nice mediterranean climate so lets bin net zero anyway and just have fun f**k all that woke green sh*t. But also the left, with various trade union leaders and blue labour types going on about net zero being bad for the economy and the need for reindustrialisation as we head back to the glory days of the 50s when we all worked down pit or something, ignoring the amount of industries and jobs created by net zero. The greens obviously are still firmly behind the net zero thing, but the party is also full of nimbys who are worried about hedgerows and hedgehogs and votes, and even the leadership have realised that there isn't votes in climate doomerism but there definitely is in bashing billionaires and Israel. I guess the main driver of net zero policies in the country is still Miliband which is probably why everyone seems to be f**king terrified of him, the mad freak and his renewables. He is out of the energy department, but his replacement is hardly a petrolhead, and he isn't in the treasury doing terrifying things like spending money, but he is in the foreign office which is maybe a good place for him because climate change is a global issue and its going to take a global effort.
