Councillor Pearce proposes approval with condition on gas



Please bear in mind that Tim Wilmot is adamant
that the Chief Planning Officer had said "Withdraw!",
and it was Councillor Pengelly who said "Defer!".

Tim Wilmot suggests that it must have been clear to councillors
that something was not right
with this application's handling by the Chief Planning Officer -
possibly because of Councillor Pengelly's shock / horror response,
and Tim Wilmot's shaking his head to indicate "No!" to withdrawal.

What is certain is that Councillor Pearce
had listened to what the Chief Planning Officer had said -
as recorded in the Planning Committee Minutes:

"If Members were minded to grant planning permission,
it should be subject to satisfactory results
of investigations into [ landfill gas ]"


The Chief Planning Officer is effectively saying:-

"If the Committee intends to grant planning permission today,
that planning permission should include provision for landfill gas".

As he is not recommending witholding the grant of planning permission
until landfill gas has been dealt with,
logically it means a condition attached to the Consent Notice.

He has definitely NOT said ( as claimed by council and police )
"Having granted planning permission today,
do not issue a Consent Notice
until landfill gas is satisfactorily dealt with!"


Consequently Councillor Pearce proposed approval
in words like this:-

"I propose we approve the application
with a condition on gas!"


Please note that the wording of the condition
is NOT the responsibility of the Committee,
but of the Planning Department.

To sum up,
for whatever reason, the Chief Planning Officer had lowered his demands,
and asked if the Committee "were minded to approve",
and Councillor Pearce had replied "Yes, I am!"
