Do you need planning consent to site a Ferris wheel? I'm surprised that this was a fait accompli by the owner with no prior warning.He certainly got the publicity he wanted anyway!
As it's a moveable object, on Private, Freehold Land, Planning Permission, is not required, i.e. the Lighthouse Fish and Chip shop. As it is right in front of my Lounge window, I will reserve judgement until after it starts to operate this weekend, but if it in any way interferes with Waldron's plans for the Pavilion Site, then bring it on, the more the merrier.
