• The post you are reporting:
   
  Unfortunately this is "old news" virtually every minister involved in the regulation of planning has at some point or other objected to developments in their own constituency whilst approving developments in other areas.
  
  This is NOT a party political issue but the exercise of personal frailties.
  
  With regard to the Tories taking donations from major construction companies - so what - tell me something new. All parties reflect the interests of their donors to a greater or lesser extent, why would you donate if they didnt?
  
  The biggest worry is not the smokescreens the press are creating above (lazy journalism to fill pages again) but the fact that we are in danger of devolving the power to decide to unelected council officers rather than locally elected and accountable representatives. This is especially true in councils like ours that are officer driven.
