The rumour mill appears to be back in swing again. We heard last night that Abfabs have lost the appeal against closure. Does anyone know if there is any truth in it? |

Yes, we was told it's on the planning issue. We never go to kestrels so that makes no difference to us but would be a shame is the party nights went as well. Although if its down to planning it seems strange that one goes and one stays? |

.
I think the main point is will abfabs be able to stay open as a business without kestrels income |

"Whats the planning issue?"
That they did not obtain planning permission prior to erecting the outbuildings and converting the stables
They have lost in an Administrative Court. However, unless there are very strong reasons to throw the appeal out without deliberations, a judge will take the view that it is costly to demolish the outbuildings only to later have to pay for these to be re-built |

As we understand it's to do with two buildings out near the stable block but honestly we are not sure that's the case. There has been quite a few rumours flying about over the past year or so. |

Yes the current appeal has been lost, it is over planning issues. The reason that it's different for abfabs is its run as a private members club and you have to book in advance to go.
Is it closing? Well not imminently for sure, whilst people keep going and there is an income generated they will fight, and we all know how long these things take.
It's about time the gossip mill shit up really, the staff there are very professional if and when there is no more avenues to fight they will no doubt tell us.
As a regular user I will enjoy it so the fight can last as long as it has to.
Just my tuppence worth

No planning permission for outbuidings
There is another thread about it somewhere, abfabs are claiming that they will appeal but there doesn't really appear to be any grounds |
