Councillor Behaviour
13 Mar 2015

I think we all need to remember that the expert opinion of the planning officer was that, despite all the objections, he was minded to approve the planning application for the Woodlouse. So..........we may well yet end up with that monstrosity being built on our lawn if the planning officer gets his own way...........and they usually do!!
