It is the officers role to gather info and offer advice based on planning laws and regs.Interesting, never knew that.
Always thought the councils role was to be independent and apply the planning regulations with impartiality. Of course I would expect them to give advise where appropriate but giving advice is a long way from talking about managing the PR and how the planning officers can justify proposals to the planning committee.
Surprised the councils remit is to support every application and do everything in their power to get it approved with the public giving it a thumbs up also. Hope the same applies should CCFC ever put an application in.
Classic Reid - taking a stance of authority on a subject he clearly has little/no understanding on.
The role of a Planning Officer is to offer advice, guidance and assistance to applicants/developers - crossing the t's and dotting the i's.
Despite what Reid would like to suggest, aside from his interpretation being questionable, this is standard type of communication.
so the employed planning officers task is to gather all relevant facts good or bad, ask questions and advise the applicant how planning law applies to an application, then to present the final case to the elected council to approve or otherwise his final recommendation

How about something amusing or educational or I know how about something relevant to anythingwhat would you like me to post?

Advice and guidance yes, not always assistance, as they can advise someone on an application but if it is in breach of policy, or for example is of a negative design or impact, then they will advise of such but certainly wouldn't assist.
Indeed.
As such I am unsure if anything in the application is in breach of policy or so forth, do you have any info on this?
I read "us" as being the Planning department. I also read the whole conversation differently to Les.Can't see any commercial reason for Wasps refusing to say where sites they decided not to pursue are located. It says it would adversely impact Wasps moving forward, not sure how if they're going with AHC.
Interestingly the earlier emails refer to Wasps using land adjacent to AHC, presumably the Severn Trent land that was previously rumoured. Would be interesting to know what happened to that and why they have instead decided to locate where a loss of existing facilities will be required.
Not keen on the bit from the council that talks about 'manage the PR', how is that the councils job? If I want to build an extension will they manage the PR to persuade my neighbours not to object?
The other line that stands out to me is 'please can you provide some information on this which will help us to justify the proposal to the planning committee'. Again is this really the councils responsibility? Us can only really mean either the council or the council and Wasps. In either case why are the council involved in justifying the football club losing its academy?
I guess the key question is do they treat other applications in a similar manner.
