The chair said the council had been labelled 'feisty', more like amateur. Whatever you think about the decision, it did seem that there were a number of councillors who had either no idea what was going on, or are just incompetent on a permanent basis.
Potentially yes, but it also seems that half the councillors thought that rejecting it over that would be ridiculous, that it should be about the design, not whether it leaves 'a sour taste'

It has done nothing but enrage me. I'm an absolute wreck - and I don't even care that much whether there is a hotel or not, it was just such a farce.
