Every line is from the record. Nothing is computed for this page, and nothing is smoothed: a short list of disagreements means a room that agreed, not a room whose disagreements were tidied away.

What it rests on
  • The bank wants pre-sales before it lends
  • The archaeology survey took nine months and found nothing
  • Nobody insures a small builder for a tall building
  • Nobody in the council can read a build programme
  • We cannot compete for land against a firm that can wait
  • Empty flats are worth more than let ones to some owners
What it could not settle
Published as contested, never recorded as a no.
  • none: every pair the room reached was settled
What was predicted to follow
Written after the map settled. Nobody voted on it.
  • A statutory deadline on every consultee — expected: a small builder can tell how long a decision will take — due 22 Jun 2027
What the room would do
Each action judged against each root cause, at three quarters of the votes cast.
