The problem is councillors aren't really experts in planning policy so that's why a town planner is needed to build the case, present the policy based argument and know the system inside out.  One of the reasons given for the callin was a "lack of planning reasons" and "outdated policies".

If they had built to the limit jeppessen would have been at number 6 ..At 2 he may struggle  a bit ...

I don't know enough to comment on the last bit but I'd hope that local councillors are all over this and not just making a noise about being unhappy about 1500 houses & questionable infrastructure/facilities being dumped on their doorstep? Isn't the real problem that decisions were made and agreed 6-3-1 by the experienced Planning and Environmental Protection Committee in October, totally in line with local & national policies: IMO the real question is was the justification for the call in and hastily arranged unsavoury appeal meeting sufficient to overturn that original democratic committee decision? It's quite hilarious that Cllr Mahmood said “I fully understand the emotions around the potential loss of the Showground but our decisions must be robust, in line with material facts and we must have confidence in our decision-making process.” - he was the instigator of this sham because he and his buddy Fitzgerald both got chastised by the Chair, Councillor Harper, (who had his request to speak at the appeal meeting denied for a yet to be confirmed reason) and Fitgerald's proposal to approve the application in October was rejected based on all of those material facts being considered and debated.

What do we think the averages of the Brummies team will be for ‘25? If the regulations remain the same as ‘24 then I see it being as this: 1. Musielak - 8.21 2. Jeppessen - 4.5 3. Zagar - 7.2 4. Rew - 5.67 5. Jepsen Jensen - 7.5 6. Voulas - 4.13 7. Edwards - RS Total - 37.21
