I guess this project may be a grey area considering if a GLEP is |
| 13 |
neccessary or not, but then the decision was made by the council based |
| 14 |
on the input of the developer community, which seems to be pretty |
| 15 |
close to the GLEP process. Not everything can and will ever be covered |
| 16 |
by some policy. There already are some examples where making up |
| 17 |
policies to cover up single incidents went terribly wrong anyway. |
