Terrible news!!! Regardless of your opinion on Swingers Clubs, an industrial estate basically in the middle of knowwhere has to be the perfect location for one! I wonder what the real reason they were closed down was?! I'm not a member, nor have I ever been to Club Tease but I find this persecution of an essentially harmless lifestyle disgusting!! Good luck to the owners in their search (assuming they aren't quitting) for a new venue!! If they are reading this how about one of the industrial estates on the Ely bypass or Littleport area, they certainly couldn't argue the traffic issue again!!
Someone opened up a business without first gaining the planning permission to operate? Does that make business sense? Or is it just me that finds that strange If someone is putting in a lot of money, it is one helluva gamble. Dave_Notts
Dave - Agree absolutely,one helluva gamble but regardless thats not really the issue & I don't believe that the fact that planning permission is applied for after opening is supposed to affect any decision. I think the main objection was over increased traffic through the village, now I may be wrong but I don't think they were ever going to be that busy! & most other businesses occupying an industrial unit will create traffic from customers or deliveries. I doubt the presence of the club was even noticed by most locals, other than those who made it their current mission of morality to move it on. I do hope they have another crack at it elsewhere & would love to pay them a visit but as a single guy I don't tend to visit clubs.
It may not supposedly affect any decision if you apply for it before or after, but as a business I would have thought they would gain all the thumbs up first before ploughing ahead with their investment. I know that sometimes the gamble pays off but in this case it looks like they have biten on the bum. I don't like to see any business close but since we are not privy to all the details and only those issues that the club are putting forward then it is a little difficult to say with any authority what the actual issues were. Unless they have been posted on the councils website. As to persecution, yes, swinging will be persecuted by the unknowning as they do not know what it is about. However, planning departments have to categorise and I expect this was put down as a sex club. The vicinity, area, strong feeling in an area will have an aeffect on whether it will be granted. In the area we lived the council gave permission for a lap-dancing club. The locals took exception to it and picketed it until such time that the council withdrew the permission. So a legal business was driven out. My own thoughts on this is the the investers should have thought about where they were setting up and not to cry after. This is their business and they are supposed to be bright people.........so prior planning will prevent this happening again. An old management saying is that they should not only look what is in the box (legal stuff) but outside the box (the feelings of the residents). If either could be a problem then it will be a gamble with their money. I may look unsympethetic but this is a business who makes money. They never set up with the intention to be a public service and not for profit. So I won't lose sleep over it, but wouldn't have wished them failure either Dave_Notts
