So, shops are empty... The lower the rents, so non-faceless-chains can afford them.
What is the problem?

I'd expect it to be none. Rather a waste of tax payers money if one part of WBC submits planning applications only for them to to refused by another.

I can just imagine the comments on here should it happen.


You have got the wrong end of the stick! It has nothing to do with the council applying for planning permission.

Most planning applications are dealt with by planning officers with no reference to any planning committee.  Only if the application is big or is generating a lot of objections, or a councillor demands it, is an application ever brought before the relevant committee.  Cases that do get to a planning committee meeting come with recommendations from the planning officers - either recommending they pass the plans or reject them, together with the basic rationalle behind the recommendation.

Generally speaking the committee goes along with the recommendations - occasionally they don't.  I think a recent case was the flats on the old Travis-Perkins site and that the committee rejected the plans despite the planning officers recommending acceptance.

A chain with a face - like most of the shops in Newbury?

methinks you have - niceguyeddie made a comment about WBC planning applications never being refused - ie projects that WBC are funding / driving / want never get refused planning. Hence my comment.

Victoria Park wasn't used.


So? From what I saw at the weekend, Victoria Park was so busy it couldn't have accommodated the carnival. On the other hand north croft is rarely busy and could easily accommodate a pavilion, so why not put it there..... Oh wait, it's not in the plan of those that don't even live here.

No he/she was commenting in response to Brian's more general question:
Quoted from brian


I guess he meant a planning application put through by WBC or for one of their favoured developments. You and I must take our turn in the queue. The better question would be how many planning decisions (recommendations) made by the planning officers have been overturned by the planning committee.

Cartergrad takes on a new meaning when you realise that the new Parkway manager is Neil Carter...
