Planning lawe is very strict and non flexible.[because an appeal in court can be costly to HBC]. Its about ticking boxes. Health and Safety, access, use, character. very few decisions fall in the grey area and if so, they go to the Planning Committee.
This would go the planning committee but not based on personal views, but strict planning law and regualtions criteria.
