It seems Paultons Park have made an error and not got planning consent for Cobra and Edge. Hopefully they won't have to pull them down, BUT I think they are in for a rough ride.

That would be terrible for the park. They are two excellent attractions which would be a big miss from the park.

Hubby heard on the local news yesterday that Paultons are being allowed to keep the two rides in question. Very Happy

The planning consent meeting hasn't happened yet, so the rides are not 100% safe. The meeting to agree retrospective planning permission is later this week.

I spoke to the park earlier today and they said they're quietly confident despite a large opposition group planning to attend the meeting. I had offered to get a group of us lot to come along to voice our support, but they said they don't feel it necessary at this stage.

I think the meeting is on Wednesday evening, so hopefully we can really celebrate on Thursday.

Dreadful news. Paultons lost at the meeting last night and did not get retrospective planning consent. As it currently stands they will have to take down Cobra and Edge, although they will no doubt appeal.

I`ve just seen this on the news as well. Very disappointing outcome. It sounds as if the forestry people don`t mind but the LOCALS are objecting!! Same old story - they probably never go there and hate other people having fun!! Evil or Very Mad

As it currently stands, no rides can be built on the land currently occupied by Cobra and Edge. The rest of the park has a general planning order so they could relocate Edge and Cobra to somewhere else in the park. I beleive the park has 28 days to appeal OR take the rides down.

Both Cobra and Edge will be open throughout Half Term, so get down there now and show the park your support.

Crazy, why do a small minority always try and spoil it for so many. Do they not relasie the knock on effect this could have to the oweners and the people who work there.

That is good news, but I think Paultons could do with some more adult orientated rides.

Nemesis Nick · Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2009 2:19 pm Post subject:

Let's hope they will be allowed to keep Cobra where it is. Edge could be moved somewhere else in the Park. There's a fairly large empty space near Wave Runner, surely that's big enough for Edge to be relocated to.

Good find Mary, I've registered my vote and left a rather lengthy and complex comment.

Cobra is safe. The planning authority voted unanimously to grant retrospective permission. So it's only Edge that has to be taken down. Not sure whether it'll be sold or relocated.

Great news about Cobra - sad news about Edge.

We`ve just been watching this on the news. I`m glad Cobra is safe now. They still have time to appeal about Edge but, even if they lose (I hope they don`t!!) surely they will try to relocate it. It`s a popular ride.
