An interesting conversation with a planning expert who compared Bromley (very good practice and Commitees who don't always side with the planning deparment), and Lewisham which on my reckoning only goes against the planning report once or twice a year (it is torturous going through the data, but I want to remain objective).

Meanwhile Newsshopper (5 Nov) has a letter "putting planning nightmares on the big screen" talking about a making a documentary on some of the more controversial decisions made by Lewisham. Contact anne-marie@ameg.org.uk if you feel that you would want to get involved or PM me if you want to know a little more (not that I am Ann Marrie I hasten to add)
