I see the mailing list discussion as a time for the MC (and everybody else) to take a look at the application and to ask for clarification or ask additional questions. > We would need to ensure that those with objections felt that their > concerns had been taken in to account by the Council, even when they > may not be able to attend the meeting; if a decision is taken in your > absence that doesn't go the way you want then it is easy to feel like > your opinions were not listened to.

Absolutely. This kind of input is very important. We appreciate information about "areas of improvement" of the applicant. It gives us a much more complete picture.
