“At heart, the planning system has a democratic base and committees do decide things. But in reality, there is very little democracy in the system. The Prince of Wales is doing what the royal family should do and speaking on behalf of people who are otherwise unrepresented. Let’s really find out what people want and give people a choice.” - Robert Adam April 2009 regarding the controversy surrounding the dropping of Chelsea Barracks proposals

“People may or may not like the design but this is an example of things getting completely out of perspective.” - Robert Adam October 2010 regarding overwhelming local opposition to his proposals for Athlone House

Surely some mistake?

Methinks that Mr Adam's idea of an agreeable person is limited only to those who agree with him, and if the people really had their choice then his proposals would be thrown out.
