Crown Court Finds Landowner Guilty For Breach Of Planning Law
The landowner's appeal against the illegitimate use of a portacabin has been dismissed; upholding the original Magistrates sentence of guilty. This was determined by the Crown Court cases (A20100344, A20100346) which ended on Tuesday 19th July 2011, following an adjournment due to their late submission of papers. This results in yet another criminal conviction for breaching planning consent despite many attempts by 'Lord' Houshang Jafari and his Rhino Group who under the directorship of his 'solicitor' John Mair keep transferring ownership to different companies. In their defence, many futile attacks were made on the local Snuff Mills Action Group (SMAG) whilst Bristol City Council has publicly acknowledged the ongoing concerns of the group and the wider public (see PDF).
