There is a simple reason for this that I believe has been explained on a couple of occasions; when the application was submitted, Emma had not spoken to neighbours, after the application was submitted she did (and apparently there were no objections when discussing it with her face to face). So there was no error made, just the honest answering of a question in the planning application.

Whether one likes it or not, planning decisions are not made by a vote of the neighbours, they are made by considering relevant planning policies. The planning officers recommended approval after hearing residents' concerns at the public meeting, and the councillors on the planning committee agreed with the decision.

I think this is entirely unfair and possibly completely the opposite of what has happened. If you consider some of the posts that needed to be removed from this site, the videoing of children, and intimidation of parents, you will see that the hate has been flowing undoubtedly towards Piplings.

Unfortunately paying membership involves the need for them to be accepted by the street rep. Philip and Emma were members of TLERA but were effectively disallowed from membership. Getting their membership allowed again took a lot of effort and the intervention of other residents in the street. Despite the objections from the street rep, their membership has now been confirmed by TLERA.

This is just one example of how Philip and Emma have been badly treated by TLERA - and yet you assume that they must be in the wrong, it is simply not like that.
