Based on these appointments and dates, I would be surprised if the Grenfell job approval didn't have her name all over it.
The Grenfell planning application was submitted on 5 Sep 2012, seemingly whilst Dent Coad was in post on the Tenant Management Committee. It was later withdrawn and resubmitted before being finally approved in December 2014 when she was a member of the Main Planning Committee. If she was so concerned she could have objected at multiple stages along the planning route.

She has very little room to criticise anybody who has served their country on operations and continues to do so out of uniform. Wouldn't it be a shame if the media ran with that line of inquiry into who exactly is representing the good folk of Kensington & Chelsea on the public purse. A clear cut case of limited VFM if ever there was one.
