Additional corroboration (Practices tab)

  • IDP Group - Remediation agent
    Basis: Stevenage planning record 20/00751/FP
    (Practices tab, row 73)
  • Gould and Company - Conversion / external alterations agent (probably surveyors)
    Basis: Stevenage planning records 15/00019/FP and 16/00386/COND
    (Practices tab, row 92)
  • IDP Group - REMEDIATION agent
    Basis: TWO buildings, and the SAME NAMED INDIVIDUAL on both - Ajay Kambo, 27 Spon Street, Coventry CV1 3BA. Both are GREY GR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP buildings, so this is a client relationship rather than a coincidence. That connection was not visible from either the FTT decisions or the press
