I can’t believe our councillors have agreed to this fly waste which is highly dangerous being off loaded so near residential areas. They should be deeply ashamed to allow this to happen.
Good morning
I note that this comment was posted on Christmas Day. I took a break from social media over the festive period hence the delay in responding. Season’s greetings!
Turning now to your comment on the latest planning applications. I’m none too sure if you are referring to the planning application APP/2021/2840 which I included in the list. I am puzzled because this has not come before councillors for a decision. There is also time for you to put your views to the council. Please do so if you feel strongly about the matter at hand, and it would be helpful if you could point to the planning policies you feel the application breaches or complies with.
Meanwhile councillors may not comment on the merits or otherwise of any live planning application until they have all the relevant information before us when we come to make a decision.
Turning to the general point of councillors being ashamed of any decision we make … well, we are elected by the public to make difficult decisions and sometimes the public won’t like them. Sometimes the applicant won’t like the outcome. That’s just the way it is. Councillors have to come to individual decisions based on planning policy, the relevant laws, and be mindful of the code of conduct.
