Plans go public - to some - anyway - for major development

The first possible plans have been unveiled by the developers of Dove Lane. They have put three plans on the table, A, B and C.

Option C with the 40 Story Building

The first possible plans have been unveiled by the developers of Dove Lane. (Dove Lane is the road that runs behind the petrol station in St.Pauls just below the M32 J3) They have put three plans on the table, A, B and C. A uses the most land and leaves the least public space through to C with leaves more land put proposes a 40 story building! Residents I've talked to so far are very, very unhappy about the scheme. Other residents have not got the info as the developers say their computer has broken down. The feeling is the document sent round is a patronizing bit of PR spin with no substance. (On the image, 'Newfoundland Way' is the renamed 'Newfoundland Road' – I guess 'Way' sounds more upmarket that a plain old 'road'? ) You can see for yourself with their PDF document outlining the options: http://www.onedovelane.co.uk/pdf/having_your_say.pdf. There are to be two chances to see the plans:
