How does that work? Is it just an internal memo? Or maybe they just shake on the deal by the coffee machine?
Are those buildings all empty now? I saw the shop that used to be Circle 7 was boarded up with a sign saying "bought by the council for redevelopment". Or something like that.
Nope they make a formal application... to themselves, if there is a fee payable they even have to pay... themselves.
Its all a bit of a farce but at times that's the planning system.
