A member of the Planning Committee commented:

“We’re not aiming this at the Flat Cap Brigade.” (Twitter)

Another member mocked the low turnout in the public gallery when it was actually full to capacity given Covid restrictions. (Twitter)

A member said: “These apartments will never sell”
Yet went on to vote “For”. (Twitter)

According to the courts, “a planning committee’s reasons should be clear & convincing. Any other material or non-material planning considerations which might cause local controversy will rarely satisfy the relevant tests."

You’ve got to laugh, as it’s all so sad.
