I was halfway through a detailed reply to all your points, but felt it wasn't working....lets just agree to disagree.
My point is that it's temporary access and they have a pretty good proposal to minimise disruption and damage. It's only temporary, but it seems that a lot of the objection is carried over from the original planning application which is appoved and is very unlikely to be overturned. So it doesn't really matter what I say - people have made up their minds and are objecting to the whole thing and not just the CMP.
Looking at the overall picture I would imagine their current plan is less disruptive than the wheelbarrow option......we will see what actually gets approved if anything. It's usually just money that makes the final decision on whether it goes ahead.....I'm sure the wheelbarrow option would cost more, but basements cost a fortune anyway.
I would have thought any vehicle damage to the trail will be easily remedied. The fields at Glastonbury seem to recover pretty well. Take a look at what they are doing on the Heath - I'm sure it will survive once they put all the muck back. The proposal does include skip lorries and a 4x4 with trailer on the walk....check out appendix A.
I have no personal interest in this, but am sympathetic as I have been involved in a couple of planning applications in the past. Common sense rarely prevails, as people dig their heels in and the process drags on forever. This can mean that a site is an eyesore for years while it is resolved so no-one is happy.

What on earth is a sock puppet? It's ok I googled it....sorry but you are making an incorrect assumption. I was asked to sign the objection by a fellow cyclist on another forum, but before doing so, a friend who had read the proposal suggested that the original post here was not true......I also read their proposal and did a bit of research.
I would be much happier if people objecting based it on facts and valid arguments, not just assumptions. It's all too easy to jump on the 'sign here' bandwagon.
I'll post a proper reply to your points later...

Nemesis rims.....do they always lose the coating on the braking track or am i using the wrong brake pads?

Very funny.....nope.....just someone who's actually seen the site, read their proposal and think's it's pretty reasonable.
Have a read of this....

It sounds like you need to be careful what you are campaigning against. Planning permission has been granted so the development will happen. Surely it's better to support a plan which has less impact on the walk than protest for the sake of it?
I would have thought 2 or 3 skip lorries per day would be in and out in about 5 minutes each way.
The alternative is a constant stream of blokes with wheelbarrows which would go on all day and make the elapsed time longer.
It's a very short distance to the house and most people wouldn't notice as the lorries would have been and gone pretty quickly, so they would miss them.
There is also plenty of space for lorries and pedestrians/cyclists at that end of the path.

A developer that bought the house near the Highgate end wants to block community access to the walk for several months for exclusive skip and delivery truck access.
This doesn't match what it says in the plan.....?
Thanks......be nice when it's all gone!
