Tunbridge Wells Town Plan Advisory Panel (1)

The panel has published its report and recommendations.

I shall be commenting on the document in a number of posts.  Whilst there are some recommendations I support wholeheartedly, nevertheless the report overall is a curates' egg, oozes complacency and lacks vision.  Indeed it is the manifesto of the aspic brigade.  The formation of the panel was a political cop-out and is an example of reaping what you sow.  Some of the major recommendations will, should they come to fruition in planning policy, serve the town badly: in so doing it will appease the aspic brigade.

One can only hope that political self-interest of councillors will not triumph. This report will test their resolve.
