| > You mention that you believe erecting a marquee for weddings would be enclosure, if only temporary. I think I agree. The LFF nursery also use tents for their temporary encampments. Is this OK? I see your point but I guess it comes down to their scale and intended use. For the LFF the tents are to provide a dry area for the children to rest, eat and probably also for storing things (and nappy changes or portable potties) the bulk of the LFF activities occur outside the tents on the common itself. Also, the LFF could still use the common without putting up the tents at all (by avoiding long days out in the rain, etc but doing so would reintroduce the complications they help solve) so tents aren't core to the LFF's use of the common. A wedding marquee is a vastly different scale and central to the required usage. I have no problem not being able to go inside a tent that LFF have put up on the common, just as I have no interest in invading someone's private picnic rug that they've placed on the common. A wedding marquee is on a completely different scale. It's also within WPCC's control as to how much gets granted. If 200 nurseries in the area all wanted to place tents on the common every day then that would be too much. For me 1 wedding marquee up for part of a day would be too much. A large circus every weekend would be too much. I can see how this slides towards subjectivity. |
