THERE was joy and desperation on opposing sides of the SnOasis debate today when the government announced a public inquiry would be held to decide if the indoor ski slope should be built.
After weeks of consideration, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government revealed that a planning inspector would be appointed to analyse Mid Suffolk District Council's decision to give outline planning approval to the £350million winter sports complex, which is proposed for Great Blakenham.
The inquiry will also analyse whether approval should be given to a new railway station for the village and to a 421-home development opposite the SnOasis site.
Opponents of the massive leisure complex welcomed news of the public inquiry while developers Onslow Suffolk said they were “devastated”.
