I can also think of one case in which the planning officers went far beyond the call of duty and effectively did the developers' job for them after the developer's agents had submitted a very poor piece of documentary "evidence".<br />That does not suggest that planning officers are accepting backhanders; simply that they often lean far too far in the direction of developers and their agents.Cneifiwrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767078276794410524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-63567162999993478212013-03-29T21:14:52.674+00:002013-03-29T21:14:52.674+00:00That old chestnut!!

You obviously can't come with any form of persuasive argument so you settle for the traditional 'all planners are corrupt" claim! How amazingly original. Did you think that one up all by yourself?

Having said that, my experience of Carmarthen CC's legal team is that they can just about manage conveyancing decisions if they have the right page open in the manual.KLSnoreply@blogger.com
