LETTER: Double standards on planning?

Planners in York have a very strange way of going on. On the one hand, a young woman is trying to get a business up and running whilst wanting an extension to her building to make a home for herself and her son (Call for compromise over new shop plan, February 9). An application for planning consent looks likely to be declined on grounds the extension would impact adversely on neighbours - who, we understand, have no objection.
