Development Management Plan Consultation Document 3rd February - 27th April 2012

Representation ID: 2512

Received: 25/04/2012

Representation Summary:

My perspective of this is that the new wording means that the applicant does not have to provide convincing evidence prior to the application being submitted and can rely on a 'suitably worded condition' being added at the planning committee meeting stage. There is a danger, as in a recently approved application in Market Street, that the policy will be overlooked; the objectors were given misleading information on who was responsible for land stability issues. '... for the ease of use by applicants' is a phrase that shows where the planning department's loyalty lays.
