I guess this project may be a grey area considering if a GLEP is
neccessary or not, but then the decision was made by the council based
on the input of the developer community, which seems to be pretty
close to the GLEP process. Not everything can and will ever be covered
by some policy. There already are some examples where making up
policies to cover up single incidents went terribly wrong anyway.
