For those who are interested the report presented to the Borough Council meeting in May can be downloaded from the Council website - see link below http://democraticservices.hounslow.gov.uk/mgConvert2PDF.aspx?ID=6150&T=10 A key paragraph is cut and pasted below: 4.4.5 The evidence suggests that these changes would not have any material effect on the outcome of planning applications. During the period from January 2007 and June 2010 approximately 90% of all planning decisions were determined under delegated powers. In this period the remaining 10% (596 applications) were considered by the Area Planning Committees, and of these 543 (91%) were determined in line with officer recommendation. Of these 596 applications, 564 were at committee because they had been the subject of at least one objection; 542 (96%) of these were determined in line with officer recommendation. |
