    Just to let you know that the 2 planning applications relating to the portacabin and demolishing of 139/141 Folkestone Road were on the Agenda for last Thursday's Planning Committee.

    Although there were many objectors to both applications, the arguments weren't strong enough and so both went through.

    The big shame about this is that Halls the newsagents, will be adversely affected I am sure and so will the new chemist, but that is not a planning issue.

    The odd thing (to my mind) was that the Town Council had objected to the (temporary) portacabin pharmacy, but had no objections to the demolishing and erection of the new pharmacy and retail outlet that will be created.

    If people could vote with just their heart (many do of course), I'm sure that many applications would not get approved, but it doesn't make for good planning decisions.
