The problem with the original question is that the Planning Department isn't there purely to provide a good service to the residents.  It should provide the same service to external organisations, statutory bodies, and so on. 

Also, as I know only too well, residents often want completely different things when it comes to planning.  Generally speaking, what most Chiswick residents want isn't the same as what most Heston residents want - from my experience I know some residents want Councils to punish ever breach of planning control, no matter how trivial it may be, whilst others think the Council should leave people to do what they want. 

Just because the Planning Department makes an unpopular decision doesn't mean it has provided a bad service. Planning departments operate under the confines of national legislation and guidance, and many planning issues, e.g. design, appearance etc., are subjective.

Obviously my work brings me into contact with a plethora of different planning departments all over the country on a daily basis, and I tend to find the quality of service I get depends more on the individual than the Council as a whole.
