When planning committee works well
When members on the Planning & Development Committee forget about party & group loyalties and concentrate on the merits of each application, as the law requires, then there are usually satisfactory outcomes.
Yesterday, we saved a bio-diverse tree-covered mound in Waunceirch from being flattened. There was also a vote against an application by Prenergy to vary a condition in the approval for their proposed woodchip-burning power-station in Port Talbot which would involve, members felt, some significant “creep” in terms of proximity and noise.
There was even some joy for those who object to any privileges for councillors: there were no biscuits in the members’ room kitchenette yesterday!
