NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. Objection To 14.10.2013 Jo Mills Director of Planning and New Communities South Cambridgeshire District Council Local Plan Consultation [email protected] Dear Madam, NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/parliamentary-archives/archives-highlights/archives-stamp-act/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_constituency Objection to South Cambridgeshire District Council’s ‘Locals’ Plan’ . Added information to my Cambridge City Council ‘local’ plan objection which is i ii coordinated with the other ‘local’ District Councils ‘local plans’ whose lowest tier of authority is the PARISH COUNCIL (1894 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parish_councils_in_England).This is hardly ‘local’ elected MAYORS of the French COMMUNES, whose boundaries do not change with the political wind, which are the 5th tier of CENTRALISED French Government based in Paris, whose city structure has QUARTIERS. Where is the iii ‘Quadrant’s centre as in QTSQ ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communes_of_France http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Quarters iv Shouldn’t it be Great St. Mary’s from where all distances are measured? Francis Burkitt should know that. v vihttp://qtsq.org.uk/ From my 1902 copy of The \Purgatorio of Dante Aigheri. Ideal date of vision 1300 . We do not have LONDON as our capital city anymore (It is a financial capital and does not cater for nationals’ who vote in national elections. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1nxTEUSIdo Switzerland hosts the World Economic Forum, to which the unelected great and the good of the capitalist non-profit-making-world can attend on their skiing holidays whilst Global Warming is a burning issue . http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/switzerland-to-vote-on--2-800- monthly-‘basic-income’-minimum-for-adults-181937885.html ) So if Cambridge sets precedents in the PLANNING SYSTEM, which is actually about LAND ECONOMY, http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-professor-donald- denman-1117697.html and not about LAND USE, OXBRIDGE was actually established by Act of Parliament in 1571. So why is Cambridge not looking at the global issues if it is a World Class University instead of being ruled by Estate Agents? Charles Bidwell worked for the Bishop of Ely. Francis Pemberton worked for Bidwells. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidwells However, PARIS influences both planning and conservation for a variety of reasons, which are cultural, but also religiousvii and historical. (attached Historic Houses- Stafford Cripps was The (Labour) Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1950 at the time of the Holford Report. ) This is reinforced in 1975 when the World Heritage 1 Convention adopted a raft of recommendations. Paris is referred to by Leon Krier in 1988: http://zakuski.utsa.edu/krier/godsave.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6ZyQJln2l4 http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/about/world/convention.html Compare La France Patrimoine Mondiale with the list for the UK. http://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/GB/ WHERE IS CAMBRIDGE ON THE UNESCO LIST IF IT SETS PRECEDENTS IN ‘THE COMMONWEALTH’ ? viiiAND MORE TO THE POINT WHERE’S ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL OR BANKS OF THE THAMES ?ix I AM OBJECTING TO PAYING COUNCIL TAX TO DECIDE ON ANYMORE ‘PLANNING and NEW COMMUNITIES’ when I LIVE IN AND MAINTAIN A LISTED BUILDING THAT WAS LISTED IN 1974 UNDER CONSERVATION LAW x, the same time South Cambs. started as a District Council as opposed to being a Rural District Council with planning conducted by Cambridgeshire County Council. CAMBRIDGE is our ‘local’ TOWN / CITY/ COUNTY BOROUGH xi ( CITY COUNTY because of the 1945 UN Conference? http://sfgsa.org/index.aspx?page=1085 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco http://www.un.org/en/aboutun/history/ http://faculty.history.wisc.edu/sommerville/361/361-19.htm ) , which was to be protected with a green belt BEYOND ‘the five mile limit’ (attached Mott Report) , not CAMBOURNE, which is an anomaly, appears to be expanding outwards, so creating the Nine Circles of Hell. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_(Dante) What else is the QTSQ other than the diagram by Dante that coincides with Rupert Brooke’s poem: And stands the church clock at ten to xii three ‘,written in Berlin about GRANTCHESTER, http://www.bartleby.com/232/701.html whose District Councillor is Francis Burkitt. Not only do I think we are NOT talking about PLANNING, but THEOLOGY as well as LAND ECONOMICS (which are related through ELY being the Diocese where the Cathedral lies). yet we had a referendum in 1994, (attached Banham) when coincidentally The Russell Group of Universities was founded, which includes Oxford and Cambridge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Russell The outgoing Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, said last year that the new incumbent would need the ‘Constitution of an ox and the hide of a rhinoceros’. I presume he was referring to Oxbridge, which is an ENGLISH civil corporation from a 1571 Act or PARLIAMENT, not decided on by the divide and rule of the Diocese of Ely and the Land Economy Department, who appear to have taken on the model of COOPERATIVE INDIVIDUALISM on the one hand and ARISTODEMOCRACY on the other. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/Eliz1/13/29/contents http://tudorhistory.org/primary/janemary/app1.html Since Rowan Williams is now Master of Magdalene College, whilst also being an honorary Druid, I would like to ask the questions with regards the future of Britain, which was once Great Britain, which included Ireland where George Osborne will inherit a Baronetcy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_Ascendancy Why is Wales ‘another country’, reverting to a mythical past with its own language on a par with English as an official language, whilst also being classified as one of the six Celtic nations? What is Welsh Planning as a part of Britain, which was once Great Britain, which came under the Welsh Office? If British Orthodoxy is the original Orthodoxy, is it connected to Russian and Greek Orthodoxy and is Syriac Orthodoxy doing anything about the current war? Ironically it was the First Earl of Cornwall, from whom Prince Charles has the benefit of a private income from the Duchy of Cornwall, who was KING OF THE ROMANS. He was also KING OF GERMANY, which is completely in accord with Cecil Rhodes’s 1902 Last Will and Testament. http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive- free/pdf?res=9906E5DA1230E733A25756C0A9629C946397D6CFvb Is Cambridgeshire really helping world peace or economics in the current crises when Cambridge appears to have been run by Oxford alumni? Hence the Greater Peterborough Masterplan the year AFTER the Mott Report, which links Bristol with Hull via Oxford and Peterborough, where Catherine of Aragon is buried. Patrick Geddes would no doubt cringe at th’vision’ of the bureaucrats who are copying Metropolis. Yours faithfully 2 Cathy Raven i http://www.propertyweek.com/news/outsiders-not-welcome/2006096.article Outsiders not welcome 13 October 2000 | By Christine Eade The Government Office for the East of England wants to consolidate and relocate in Cambridge, but will Cambridge have it? Regulations barring non-locals from moving within its prestigious city limits may prove the undoing of a massive redevelopment scheme. If this was supposed to a World Class University TOWN/ City that sets global precedents,. why were only the locals allowed in when the city covers the same area as the University Proctors? http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/proctors/ We pay for the police via council tax. Do the Proctors and the Police agree on policy ? Clearly not in the case of 307 Huntingdon Rd. http://www.theguardian.com/education/2004/jan/03/research.highereducation http://www.x-cape.org.uk/critique.pdf And why is the Police Commissioner at Cambourne? And why did we have to vote for him when we can’t vote for any mayors, either in the lowest tier of decisionmaking as in France , in Cambridge, in London, in the City of London, but BRISTOL has an ex-President of the RIBA . Why? http://www.bristol.gov.uk/page/george-ferguson-mayor-bristol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Ferguson_(architect) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Geddes John Prescott called in one development scheme at the Station I believe.

Why was the A10 actually detrunked ?http://www.richardrogers.co.uk/work/buildings/pa_technology_laboratory Richard Rogers was also advising Ken Livingstone and I complained in 2000 to the RTPI (Royal Charter 1959) about his conflict of interest in wanting everything to be put in cities when the Cambridge plan was to clearly expand carefully outwards. As in the Location of Offices Bureau in the 1960’s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location_of_Offices_Bureau See BWP 6 attached.P 27.Richard Rogers also designed the Pompidou Centre in Paris in 1971. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_Georges_Pompidou How can architects also be planners when there is no international planning system and nobody is teaching them ‘national differences? Many talented architects were blacklisted because of a projection of architectural style onto theological argument, most of which had nothing to do with aesthetics. Downing College for example. ‘Buildings. George III urged that the College should not be a Gothic building. William Wilkins's designs were finally adopted, (fn. 13) and the foundation stone was laid on 18 May 1807.’ http://www.british- history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66659 (not so mad King George III needed Britain to think and see American, since they had just got rid of the monarchy- and the Bishop of London had lost his see.

INTRODUCTION: This report has been prepared by the Historic Landmark Preservation Comittee of the Planning Con~nission and by the Department of Urban Planning. It is a study of the Magnolia Building, renamed the Mobil Building, to determine its significance as a historic landmark and to consider the question of whether it should be protected. The study will also consider what features should be Drotected and what approaches are ap propriate if the building is determined to be worthy of such protection. Designation under the City’s landmark program, together with preservation criteria, would be a major tool for preserving any building deemed to be historically significant as a living part of Dallas’ heritage. If such a building is unoccupied or underutilized, an appropriate reuse would be es sential for its continued viability. Hopefully, a new use could be found for a historic landmark building which would not only preserve the building as economically viable, but which would provide some access and amenity to the public appropriate to its significance as a focus of community sentiment. The Magnolia Building has for years been one of Dallas’ most significant buildings. Its architectural distinction, its association with the city’s economic life, and its extraordinary visual domination of the downtown sky line, topped by the Flying Red Horse, all reinforce its overall impact.

In what ways has the U.S. incorporated aspects of Mexican culture into its own? This dissertation explores these questions of cultural and intellectual exchange between the U.S. and Mexico during the 1920s and 1930s by positioning itself amid the present “transnational” and “hemispheric” turn in U.S. literary study. Its subject matter ranges from architecture and urbanism to journalism and travel writing to short stories and novels to muralism and the visual arts. Such an interdisciplinary approach is bolstered by crossing scales of geography from the international to the continental, the national, the regional and the local. Positioning the discussion
