I agree that the planning process should be democratic in which any member of the public may object or support a planning application. Unfortunately Prince Charles hardly falls under the realms of an ordinary member of the public and his influence therefore is undue. The National Gallery debacle gave great problems to the architectural profession from which it ihas taken a long time to recover with fine examples of modern architecture now being accepted by planning authorities.It will be a great shame to see that once again set back.
