Having raised objections to the planning application for a road haulage depot on very serious environmental grounds, I am amazed how Adur Council's planning committee could give permission when the report before them recommended refusal (The Argus, July 22).
Is the health and environmental well-being of the people living in the area not a key consideration?
Does Adur Council not have an up-to-date code of conduct, whereby applications are dealt with on their merits, rather than state: "We have to look at the overall effect in terms of benefit to the harbour and the local economy"?
