With exquisite timing,  EDDC yesterday announced it will once again be going to appeal, rather than comply with the Information Commissioner’s conclusion that more Knowle sale documents should be in the public domain. This presumably puts an enormous extra burden on the Council’s Development Management Committee (DMC) who are scheduled to decide on the Knowle planning application in just one week’s time (6th December 2016) , with the knowledge now that some associated documents have been withheld from them.

After the shaming of officers, described by the Tribunal Judge as ‘discourteous and UNhelpful’, in the Knowle appeal that EDDC lost in 2015, the public will question why yet further public money is  now being spent, possibly for a repeat performance.
