  Councillors act on all the evidence put before them.
  
  
  Iv chaired other council meetings where a solicitor told me she was giving legal advice .
  
  I told her weighing up all the evidence from all the bodies concerned at that point we decided to carry on.
  
  It is only advice and clkrs then have to weigh up everything .
  
  The solicitor was of the opinion that because she had spoken it had to be adhered to
  Speaking with her boss who's quite high up within the council now
  I explained it all to him and he agreed with me
  So sometimes officers can get it wrong .
  
  
  Another example if you need any
  
  Alexander house as it is now on the Folkestone Road
  Before being built was two houses and drug dens
  The officers put down to refuse the application for Alexander house to come into being .
  I managed to get them to a site meeting at the place .
  After all the public /officers /,others giving views
  With no new evidence having been told on the Thursday night by officers this will never get permission .
  
  On the Tuesday the then chairman asked the officers how or if they could approve the application
  Where by the officer with no new evidence gave reasons for approval !!
  And it was approved !!!!
  
  The other thing with councils if you have a lawyer and take the council on your more likely to win !
