Argued on behalf of the Town Council against a Planning Application recommended by Planning Officers and regarded as a rubber-stamping.
Drove a coach and horses through their interpretation of Local Plan regs and got it refused 9-2.
Little things.

Good work 
Your next job is to look into why the Planning Dept assume their recommendations will be approved automatically.
Around my way there are developers taking the piss by starting developments that fit in locally and then submit amendments for disproportionate additional development of a site.
You certainly don’t see any poor Town Planners around here.

I am pleased to update this Annoyances post:
You’ll note it’s transferred to Pleasures as a very nice man from Openreach arrived within 18 hours for an emergency repair, totally successful, and at zero cost as apparently as an inducement to me to stay with BT they put me, free, onto a contract that includes completely free engineer visits.

Since it was free, I got the wire moved higher up (Mrs S is of moderate stature) and pinned to the wall.

I know what she did was wrong but pinning her to the wall seems harsh
