Standard procedure.
Developer submits inflated application, Council refuses (with a wink), developer re-submits application with the amount of dwellings they wanted to build from the outset and the Council then pretends to begrudgingly claim that it's a much better application and starts to drop thinly veiled threats that if the current application doesn't go ahead then something worse may end up replacing it.
Totally agree. It's a process predicated around the con of appearing to serve the interests of the community.

Your points of reference being?
Like all Governments the good news will be used as evidence of the success of the stirring fiscal fightback, probably within minutes of a piece of bad news being produced as evidence for the need for a stirring fiscal fightback.
Like all normal people we will interpret what it means as it directly relates to us if it's even relevant.

I've dragged this from the Adver comments section
The door was opened to the developers by the ill thought out proposals for a University on this site. The councillors were deluded ,as the University proposal was not real, just a cover for unwanted development.
The Council now needs to designate the whole area as a nature reserve and stop this nonsense of one application after another.
Cncr Greenhalgh seems to be in favour of the application and should be stopped from any involvement in it.
Sums it up for me. We certainly don't need this person addingpropogandanews to the percieved council forum.
Actually the planned University development was real.
One wonders now if the University in the long run would have been a better option
