It has nothing to do with Councillors. The planning officers are employed by the Council to do their job. If the Councillors over ruled them, which they do, and upset resident could appeal and if there appeal was right then the club would loose.
Councillors often over rule the planners only to loose out on appeal.
There is a good program on the TV about planners and what powers they have on the TV at the moment. It showed a case where Councillors went againts the advice of the planning committee - they Councillors lost at appeal.
