Ha, Without a doubt. Sorry, it was a totally flippant comment, but perhaps a more reasonable “this doesn’t work with our master plan” might’ve saved a few years of pain.

It would certainly help if people didn't submit applications in breach of planning regulations in the first place. That would greatly reduce the number of applications and free up officer and committee time to actually work on other grounds for decision, e.g. what new considerations might emerge from an otherwise compliant application (and councils should obviously be given some more discretion to consider these).
