Maybe the TLERA are happy to be public about their opposition to the Canonbie road application because they can fight it on the grounds of the material planning conditions pointed out by Iwereabsolutelyfuming - " These include things like:

* Loss of light or overshadowing
* Overlooking/loss of privacy
* Visual amenity (but not loss of private view)
* Adequacy of parking/loading/turning
* Highway safety
* Traffic generation
* Noise and disturbance resulting from use
* Hazardous materials
* Smells
* Loss of trees
* Effect on listed building and conservation area
* Layout and density of building
* Design, appearance and materials
* Landscaping
* Road access
* Local, strategic, regional and national planning policies
* Government circulars, orders and statutory instruments
* Disabled persons' access
* Compensation and awards of costs against the Council at public enquiries
* Proposals in the Development Plan
* Previous planning decisions (including appeal decisions)
* Nature conservation
* Archaeology"

As this doesn't apply to Piplings another approach was necessary.

Has anyone seen Hot Fuzz ;-)
