The NLWA has argued that you should have already argued the case to stop Pinkham Wood. (Yes, it has)

March 2008

North London boroughs:

North London Waste Plan (NLWP) 'Issues and Option' consultation:

"I didn't notice this." 

"Well, you SHOULD have done." 

"But I didn't."

Oct 2009 - Jan 2010

North London boroughs:

NLWP 'Preferred Options' consultation:

"I didn't notice this, either." 

"Well, you SHOULD have done."

"But I didn't."

Dec 2010

North London boroughs:

NLWP site specific meetings (including Pinkham Way):

"No-one knew about these." 

"Well, you SHOULD have done."

"But we didn't."

Feb 2011

NLWA/Barnet Council:

Pre-application exhibitions:

"Hardly anyone knew, until afterwards." 

"Well, you SHOULD have done."

"But we didn't."

We note: Presumably the NLWA has put all the above into the "Statement of Community Involvement", which is part of its Pinkham Wood planning application (being made jointly with Barnet Council).

Barnet Council, on the other hand, has much less credibility (no change there, then). It can hardly point to consultation around its 'Mill Hill East Area Action Plan', so that only leaves the February 2011 exhibitions - where there was no attempt to justify the site, as the best out of a list of alternative sites, for instance.
