| David, So now for your latest roll of the dice you try to undermine anyone who didn't attend the meeting ?. Doesn't the irony of your constantly one-sided Conservative Councillor supporting posts ever dawn on you ?. No-one on this forum is openly displaying their political colours more than yourself. No doubt you will come up with some political spin if Boris and Eric don't call the application in ?. Does any Councillor who sits on Planning Committee have to openly demonstrate that they had a detailed knowledge of the local area ?. Do the Conservative Councillors who sit on the Planning Committee openly display a detailed knowledge of Hounslow or Feltham when determining applications there ?. Again, my question isn't a politically shaped one, but no doubt you will try to answer it with some political spin. For what it's worth, my personal view is that it was obvious from the nature of the questions some Labour Councillors asked that they supported the scheme regardless of the answers they were going to receive, and that was rather exposed when on at least one occasion a Councillor actually said, before posing a question of supposed concern, that it was an 'excellent' scheme. But equally it was obvious from the delivery, manner and nature of the questions asked by some of the Conservative Councillors that they objected to the scheme. I don't think the Conservative Councillors behaved badly as some posters suggest, apart from when Councillor O'Reilly (who whenever I have encountered her before has always been professional and reasonable) publicly criticised the Officers, which I felt was unreasonable because at the end of the day this application is all about a balancing act and whilst she (and I) might not agree with the Officer's conclusion, I don't think it's right to publicly criticise Officers just because they apply different weight to the various pros and cons of the scheme. |
