This application received five hours of detailed scrutiny by a committee that by law couldn't be whipped to vote along party lines. The questioning of the propersers, objectors and community supporters was extermely robust. The objection to thhe scheme by local councillor and current council leader Peter John was very strongly expressed. In the end it passed by 5-2 with one abstention. One Labour councillor voted against, the two LibDems split. The votes are completely public, you can write to any councillor involved. I'm delighted and I know others aren't. That's what a robust planning process is supposed to resolve and tonight it did.
