Incompetent council planning costs restoration £11,500

It's not very often that I'd have the brass neck to suggest that members of this forum visit the 'dark side' but on this occasion I think you'll understand and hopefully give a very worthwhile cause a financial helping hand!

How about just copying their article and pasting it in here? They seem to have no problem doing it to us.

It implies (shock, horror, amazement) that a Council leant over backwards to accommodate a developer, thus screwing over everybody else with an interest,in this case, a Canal society. 

One of the results of the cuts is that councils don't even bother to argue with developers any more - they can't afford the legal fees and the Government just overrules them if they try. That's before you make any assumptions about backhanders.

Private Eye still runs its "Rotten Boroughs" column. Has anyone brought this matter to their attention?
