Despite any appearance at Devon County Council to the contrary – for example in relation to a Minerals Plan where inclusion of a site was championed on behalf of a Swiss multinational despite all the glaringly obvious constraints, or a planning application first submitted in 2015 for a quarry at the same site that has been allowed to drag on interminably without meaningful progress thereby putting lives and businesses on hold – planning officers are meant to be neutral and impartial.
But sometimes you wonder.
This may be innocent, but we question the objectivity of planning officers when they celebrate the decision at the end? @WalesOnline @SDoughtyMP @AlexGSeabrook pic.twitter.com/x5PJ1vS1gC
