In addition, the Councillor repeated the personal statement that he had made to the Cabinet in July 2012, March 2014 and 21 July 2014, namely:
“(a) in my own response as a local resident to the public consultation, I stated that I was opposed to the provision of a supermarket;
(b) my view has always been that the approved development brief should achieve the twin goals of revitalising the High Street economy and preserving its essential character;
(c) it has never been my view that maximising the financial return on the Council’s landholding in that area should be the only objective of the Authority, community benefits are equally important in my mind; and
(d) the decision as to whether a supermarket or indeed any other form of development will form part of the brief is not mine as Leader of the Council but one for the whole Council.”
