This post includes a video of Councillor Roger Wilkins who is a member of the district council planning committee saying that Princes Parade will go ahead. Clearly he has fettered his discretion. You would think that with the District council being both applicant and planning authority that they would be more careful to show that everything is being done by the book. Instead he has shown, as many people already believe, that the decision to grant planning permission has already been made.
