The point I'm making is that one argument surely cancels out the other doesn't it? If they were "democratically agreed" that suggests due process. If there is inproperity in the process, they can't be democratic!
Read my previous posts, as I keep saying the 32m application will be via a DCO and won’t be decided by the council. The 19m will be decided by the council but I guess it could be called in by the government, which is unlikely as it is only a million. This might explain why they didn’t put in an single application for 3.5 million due to a greater possibility that it would be called in.
