How will a conflict of interest be avoided in the planning process, because the Council is essentially voting on its own plans?
The development of any of the sites in question will be subject to the same levels of scrutiny as any other development proposal within the Borough. Any site the Council owns where a planning application is submitted must go to a Planning Committee and cannot be decided by delegated officer decision. The financial position of the Company and of individual developments is not a consideration for the Planning Committee.
