After the almost unprecedented criticism by Council officers of the recent controversial planning decision, it returned to the Planning Committee tonight after the due period of 'cooling off'. And I went along feeling like the curious bystander at a funeral........
As expected arms had been twisted sufficiently for the decision to be overturned, with two of the Gang of 6 who approved the application last July missing, two changing their minds, and two showing they weren't 'heated up' in the first place. Interestingly two missing Tories from the last decision turned up this time and voted for approval !
An independent former-Tory councillor initially attempted to defer any fresh decision, but was trampled on from a great height whilst protesting about 'Mickey Mouse' proceedings. I think he had a point........
