There has been recent discussion about the PPC and how things could be improved. Further discussion is really required and hopefully we'll be able to make things a little more transparent than they've sometimes been in the past.

Whether or not or not you agree with the above letter, it's reasonably representative of the views expressed within the PCC.

Anybody know when this will be decided. Can't be long now, sure ir was to be decided in August.

If I were the Planning Department I might be treading water on this one.

The two previous applications at 17 & 19, recommended for approval but refused by committee, are currently subject to appeals. I'm not sure the Planning Department are all that confident in defending the refusals, not least because in both instances two of the three original grounds given for refusal have changed come the appeal.

In any event they're in an awkward position. They might want to recommend approval but know the committee are likely to want to refuse given recent history. Or the judgement in the two appeals effectively establishes, one way or another, what is and isn't acceptable in the location.

There might be a temptation to string things out till the appeals are settled, then make the recommendation in line with those.

Seanie you won't mind me putting right your inaccuracy, we wouldn't want the Porty massive being misled on here...........The Planning 'Department' ie officers - do not defend appeals on applications that they recommended for approval which were refused by elected members.

Sorry. You're right.

Just making the point that the reasons for refusal have changed. That suggests to me that someone's realised that at least some of the original reasons were pretty weak.
