Planning Committee - 12th October 2011

PLEASE NOTE: Certain rumours have been circulating that planning decisions are already taken before a Planning Committee meets and it should be stressed that this is not the case.  Recommendations are made by officers as to what the decision should be based on legal and technical evidence in the plans but this is not binding on the committee.
