Leeds city councillors have admitted they were not able to make a fully-informed decision on a planning application during the early days of lockdown.
It follows the decision of a government planning inspector to overturn the council’s decision to reject plans for an over-55s residential facility in Meanwood back in 2020.
It is normal procedure for planning sub-committee members to visit the sites of planning applications to help them decide whether to support or oppose contentious planning applications.
