Yeah - maybe it will help with the planning application if they make it look like a big tree!

[Crazyfool01]

that looks much better ... the lights will also be better against a dark backdrop 

[Tr234]

Yeah I think theyve painted it to blend into the scenery 

[DoubleB]

They’ve said it’s a 5 year on going project until finished so additions likely each year. 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

That will look so cool with the lights

The moon was up while we were there Sunday for about 45 mins but had 3 stewards walking it around on ropes from below

Subject to a planning application, yes.

Perhaps that's why it's been painted this colour. 

Anyone managed to find the planning application yet?

My mate Simon is Arcadia's planning consultant.  He submitted the app a couple of weeks ago.

The moon was apparently taken down due to strong winds.

It’ll be painted this colour to make it blend into the horizon, they often paint the bottom half of wind turbines green, helps with planning.

I’m assuming the council get so much money from glasto they can pretty much get away with anything these days

It's going to be at Bluedot too and if it's anything like the earth they suspended from the trees last year, I can imagine it is amazing!! See said earth from last year below:

may not be on the portal till such point as its got a date for decision/discussion.

It was up on the Wednesday, looked brilliant but with the fire and high winds I think it definitely had the potential to be very dangerous!

Did this happen on Sunday or is it photo shopped?

This definitely happened. I was there from the beginning of Dimension to the end of Andy C. I think they took it down either before or after Subfocus

mate I work with down there who signs off most of the structures saying they were and that they will paint it to blend as they were sure the crane part would not be allowed and that would be stored onsite. He thought they may only allow the legs

The planning application is for 20m high structure.
