I think its the technical officers of the council that prepare reports for the planning committee that report will contain details of the application and reasons it should be either accepted or refused, however the planning committee do not always vote as per the report recommendation as has happened in the past, sometimes resulting in an appeal by the applicant. Yes HBC does have an "enforcement officer"...........over worked by all accounts but he/she has been a busy bee looking at the list attached.
