| Jim, On what basis do you make the claim that Councillor Reid is "against renewable energy when a grudge against Tesco's is involved ?". You must know something I and most other local residents don't about Councillor Reid's shopping habits, as I had no idea she had a grudge against Tesco. Nor do I suspect she's against renewable energy or government advice as set out in PPS22. Not saying that I agree with this decision, but as someone in the business I know it's not that unusual for Councillors to refuse planning permission against Officer recommendation. And sometimes, when that happens and the applicant appeals the decision, the Secretary of State actually shares the concerns of the Councillors, and dismisses the appeal. So whilst yes the decision is no doubt frustrating to Tesco and their professional representatives (I've been in that position on many occasions) I can't see the basis for your allegation that Councillor Reid has some kind of grudge against Tesco. |
