    It is a fact that almost all planning applications going to DDC are dealt with by the officers with very few actually going before the elected planning committee. Those few that do see the elected councillors going into the meeting armed with reams of notes from the officers but not the actual plans submitted.

    Assuming the officers do work to guidance from the council it woiuld mean they are working to guidance directed by the much smaller 'cabinet' at DDC, this in turn means that they are working to the vision of the leader of the cabinet. Would Paul Watkins care to comment on the acknowledged poor will of DDC's planning to see forward movement in Dover and the lack of consultation with those elected to represent the communities affected?
