At least the first part of the direct link filename has a reference number to search for the application. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20769#post-356196 Tue, 26 Oct 2021 20:40:57 +0000 wingpig 356196@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><blockquote><em>"This document is unavailable for viewing at this time."</em></blockquote> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20769#post-356193 Tue, 26 Oct 2021 19:45:14 +0000 slowcoach 356193@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <br /> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20769#post-356186 Tue, 26 Oct 2021 17:23:58 +0000 chdot 356186@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“do eplanning links work for other users?”</p> <p>I’ve never managed to share document links from any planning portal. </p> <p>Seems deliberate but don’t know why. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20769#post-356185 Tue, 26 Oct 2021 17:12:58 +0000 slowcoach 356185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In the planning application for Victoria Park, Peebles, there are <a href="https://eplanning.scotborders.gov.uk/online-applications/files/53DF4316357146552B14B2C8393022CF/pdf/20_00960_FUL-APPROVED_-_IMAGES_OF_PLAY_EQUIPMENT__17_PAGES_-3410734.pdf"> pictures of the equipment </a> from Wicksteed, who say “all Wicksteed play products are UK manufactured at our Kettering headquarters”<br /> (do eplanning links work for other users?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20769#post-356145 Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:13:46 +0000 wingpig 356145@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@neddie Including Wicksteed and Sutcliffe?
