Probably stemmed from the fact that Blackpool had/has a waiver so people assumed that other parks might do as well and the fact that some recent additions didn't have applications, but as you have mentioned could be related to permitted development.Not sure where these rumours come from to be honest, you hear it a lot about different parks. But as I said in my earlier post I think people get mixed up with the permitted development rights available to most amusement parks which allow them to erect equipment up to 25m in height without planning. Most associated building would still need planning though.
