Hi Tersie.

My understanding is that it may go before a committee, which is not a consultation that would consider attendees', except one speaker's, comments or views on the night. It's mereley where the 9 committee members, made up of borough councillors, will consider the merits of the case and vote - and a majority decision wins. It is most important that comments are put to the planning department before the event so that the committee can take them into account when weighing up the case. Anyone thinking of going, if a commitee meeting goes ahead, should know that comment from the public gallery is strictly not allowed.
