At Development Quality Committee last night, councillors discussed around 20 planning applications. I moved refusal of a couple in the West End, including an application for a proposed advertising unit in Riverside Drive. Being immediately north of the waterfront, I felt the siting of this was inappropriate, partly because of the adverse effect on the amenity of the locality but also because of public safety on such a heavily trafficked road.
In a tight vote, my motion was successful by two votes.
