Complaint to SCC29 Jun 2020 20:17
Im writing to complain about the planning meeting today that can only be described as a total shambles for a number of reasons:
The vote took place before the refusal reasons were defined by SCC legal representative
This vote resulted in a 6-5 refusal - How could this happen when reasons not defined?
Councillors were unable to use the technology, and clearly were extremely unsure on how to use such systems, and clearly did not understand the content
Some members could not give valid reasons why they were opposing the applicant and the meeting was adjourned.
Councillor attending this meeting clearly had someone sitting next to them, how is that possible, and how can you be sure that this person did not influence or make a decision that the Councillor was unaware of, I think given the limited technical understanding it can not be ruled out, and this alone needs further investigation.
Lack of technical awareness of the video platform.
Appeared to suggest the Dunsford Road was not suitable for HGVs yet one of the counter arguments was by a local business that actually acknowledged that HGVs for his business actually use this road.
The Chairperson and planning officer both recommended that approved should be provided, and that there was no legal grounds to refuse.
The Environmental commission had approved this on the 26th June.
The planning officer had recommended approval
The chairperson - Provided guidance to approve.
The highways agency had recommended this, and noted no additional concerns.
Id like to know how a council representative can go directly against legal advise, and yet display utter incompetence for their role as a local Councillor, nothing less then disgraceful today.
