  RESOLUTION:
  i) In the light of the substantial amount of local concern; the amount of money being spent; and that TDC is the applicant and decision maker, RTC recommends that a full planning application is submitted.
  ii) A document of questions provided by Cllr R Wing to be sent to TDC with RTC’s comments.
  iii) RTC, due to the public perception of the role of TDC in this matter recommends that TDC seeks another authority to consider the application.

NB. The town council is a statutory consultee on planning applications; the decision is ultimately made by Thanet District Council.
