THE findings of an independent report that cleared a councillor of trying to improperly influence the decision on his own planning application have been accepted.
On Tuesday, BCP Council’s standards committee backed the judgment that councillor Peter Hall had not breached the council’s code of conduct during determination of his plans in 2019.
Councillor Ann Stribley, who is also a member of the planning committee that considered the application, said she did not his actions had swayed the decision.
The planning application, submitted by Cllr Hall, sought permission to install a new window and increase the size of an existing one at his St Margaret’s Avenue home in Christchurch.
