Hello all What is your approach to sharing viability assessments which accompany an application (or pre-application) with councillors? It seems to me that it is only reasonable (in fact important) to share crucial information which goes to the heart of one of the basis for making a decision. How can decision makers be expected to make an informed decision if this information is withheld? Some councillors may be happy to take officers advice, but others want to understand it for themselves and be able to probe assumptions and ask questions. Sharing info with councillors isn't putting commercially sensitive information in the public domain. I've been asked about other approaches by a councillor who has been refused this information by officers. What is your approach? Does it differ between applications and pre app enquiries?
