Stevie Wonder among gigs without planning permission
A series of concerts held in a popular park in Cardiff went ahead without planning permission, a council report has said. The performances on Blackweir Fields from Noah Kahan, Alanis Morissette, Slayer and Stevie Wonder saw tens of thousands of people attend. The Cardiff council report stated there was no application for planning permission in the run up to the shows, and that a certificate of lawfulness, which shows whether planning permission is required or not, had not been issued. The council said it had decided not to take formal planning enforcement action against the organisers. Large fences shut off popular park for gigs Campaigner wins legal fight over park festivals Sir Tom Jones to headline summer gig in Cardiff The series of gigs known as Blackweir Live had received complaints from residents, who set up a petition about large fences being erected around the site. Cardiff council said the concerts would bring £35m to the city's economy, which would be used to improve parks and infrastructure. The report said there was no planning permission application before the events took place, and without a certificate of lawfulness, the organisers Depot Live and Cuffe and Taylor were "proceeding at risk". Planning laws prohibit a temporary change of the use of parks for more than 28 days each year without additional planning consent, but the report found that the area of Blackweir Fields was affected for a total of 37 days, nine days more than allowed. The report highlighted a case in London earlier this year, when a resident successfully took her local authority to court, arguing Lambeth council did not have the correct planning permission to stage events in Brockwell Park. The report said: "There have been no other temporary events in Blackweir Fields during this calendar year, but the result remains that the number of days exceeds that permitted." Council officers considered whether enforcement action should have been taken, but recommended "it would not be expedient for the council to take any formal enforcement action against the event organiser", calling the breach "minor". The report concluded both Cardiff council and the organisers of any future events should apply for planning permission for any event exceeding the 28-day limit. Cardiff council said the decision against Lambeth council was made after the Blackweir Live gigs had been approved and booked. It also added an events licence had previously been granted for the concerts. It said: "While the setup and breakdown of the site exceeded the 28-day limit for temporary events, the concerts themselves stayed within that timeframe, which was why planning permission was not sought for such a temporary event. "The implications of the recent court judgement will now form part of a wider review of arrangements for future events in Cardiff." The organisers of the events, Depot Live and Cuffe and Taylor, have been asked to comment.

A Vermont country girl becomes a Boston city slicker
There's the equally common sight of unkempt fields with disheveled, melancholy cows separated from the scarred pavement by nothing except a halfhearted wooden fence. Then there's the tire-popping back roads that toss up rocks and dirt, enough to coat your lungs like ash, and the famously New England smell of ammonia and sulfur (courtesy of the cows) that seeps through car windows and even plugged noses. Vermont is accustomed to frequent clichés and assumptions. Like anyone who grew up in rural Vermont, I fiercely defend the picturesque quality of a state whose claims to fame include Ben and Jerry's, Bernie Sanders, Noah Kahan, and maple syrup. Advertisement But as a 20-something college student living in Boston for the first time, I often fall into the cynical perspective that the rural New England of my youth is characterized by slow-moving days and even slower driving. Conversely, in Boston, constant horns and sirens breach any possibility of peace and quiet, unfinished construction abounds, and if you need a reminder you're never alone, a brisk walk through the Common will do. There's also the fact that Boston boasts several thousand more people (around 673,000 according to the Advertisement There's a big wealth gap between Vermont and Massachusetts, too. According to the Vermont Department of Health, While some fled to Vermont for more space and remote work during the COVID pandemic, recent data indicate a A house in Plainfield, Vt., remained covered in dirt and silt earlier this month as the owners awaited word on government buyout programs. Paul Heintz for The Boston Globe Advertisement Cows grazed on a dairy farm in Salisbury, Vt. Amanda Swinhart/Associated Press Homes in Vermont, whether they are imposing, historical farmhouses lining the roadside, mid-'90s ranch-style houses, or quaint cottages stuck deep in the woods, often sit on open space. Sprawling acres of cleared land mix with dense forests, farms, or wide rivers. Thinking of Boston homes conjures the image of old brownstones or row houses stacked atop each other, lining the narrow streets. The town of Hartford, Vt., has an average home value of $417,766, At age 21, I am more familiar with renting than owning. The average rent back home would be about Since being in Boston, I've found that despite the occasional unreliability of the MBTA, everything is right there for you. A midnight ER visit is a 10-minute walk, a morning coffee run is on the way to work, and there's certainly more to do for a college-age person pursuing a career and enjoying a social scene. Boston is a perpetual college city, while Hartford is a town of families with a side of tourists, if you stop by the Advertisement The cacophonous rush of the city — sirens, rap music pouring out of car windows, swarms of people everywhere you look — has become home to me. Compared with rural northern New England, Boston is a head-spinning cold plunge into early adulthood and city life. While I can't say I miss the thick, manure-laden air, the mud-flecked late-winter slush, or the appallingly low amount of cell service, there is nothing quite like returning home to crickets and frogs chirping under a sky freckled with countless stars and the peaceful silence of mountains and back roads.
