What You Can Get Away With

Thought there was just one application this week, then another came along right at the deadline:

130472: Listed building application for conversion of former law library to office space, Town Hall, High Street.
130520: Demolition of conservatory and erection of extension, Cowdray Avenue.

Please note that I am a member of the Council’s Planning Committee for this municipal year. This means that I’m required to act in a ‘quasi-judicial’ manner with regard to applications before the Committee and as such, can’t make comments in favour or against planning applications as I may then have pre-judged them before they come to Committee. I can give advice on planning issues and what to do if you have a comment or objection. However, my ward colleagues Bill Frame and Jo Hayes aren’t members of the Committee, so they’re free to comment as they wish.
