A former acting executive director once asked a complaining resident if he wanted a one-size-fits-all planning system; to which the response was: "Yes. It's called a level playing field!" <br /><br />Behind all this is a shadow economy. Dosh in the right places morphs into planning permission, regardless of the law, never mind planning policy.Blueberrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-77717940155154872572015-10-13T22:44:14.491+01:002015-10-13T22:44:14.491+01:00From memory, the longest was one on the TMO which ...From memory, the longest was one on the TMO which exceeded 100.<br />Whilst on the subject Cllr Paget-Brown is not telling the truth in suggesting that<br />knocking down the school was the only way of 21st proofing the building.<br />Has he not noticed the remarkable redevelopments behind retained facades.<br />Cllr, you need to remember that the residents of K&C are, in the main, remarkably clever.
