https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/l ... n-18759600Permission to build a new hotel at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford has been withdrawn following an administrative error.
South Cambridgeshire District Council said on June 26 that a 168-bedroom Hampton by Hilton hotel had been “cleared for take off” and granted planning permission.
But the planning committee’s decision will not stand because a resident who had notified the council of their desire to speak at the meeting was not offered the chance to do so.
The council then planned to decide the application again on Wednesday (August 12), but the virtual meeting was cancelled due to “technical issues”.
According to the minutes of the June meeting, seven councillors voted to approve the application, with councillors Deborah Roberts and Heather Williams voting against.

So the council didn't let an objector speak at the planning meeting and then couldn't get Zoom to work. Reputation for being a bunch of wallies still stands.

Farce & inept are two of the most apt words to describe the running of most councils that I've had to deal with in the last 40 years working in the construction industry.
