Sham move, or Designer Planning

SHAM MOVE OR DESIGNER PLANNING
18th September 2015

Hastings Borough Council is due to meet with Full Council on the 23rd September 2015 to ratify what appears to be an unsigned document. 

For eighty (80) days a Freedom of Information Request[1] has been sent to the Council  and Planning Inspectorate to obtain this legally signed or digitally signed Inspectors Report as part of the Public Examination of the Hastings Local Plan Development Plan. It has not been forthcoming from Council or Planning Inspectorate, the Information Controller has been informed.

The Council has provided a document with a fancy typeface font Lucida Calligraphy signature as proof it has a signed document. This is not a signed Report from the Inspector. Why has the Inspector not stepped in?

The premise is quite simple there has not been a signed document provided for the Full Council to determine a matter item three (3) upon  a font signature is not adequate to prove unequivocally  that the Inspector signed this Report. Some people believe that this document was written by Forward Planning Department which if this is the case  that a staggering £40,278.63. + £56,576.14[2] = £96,85477  has been spent on a sham. I have contacted Councillors and even been told what do I expect of this Council.
