Complaint
In a discussion about the state of the economy, references were made to a planning application submitted by Wimbledon鈥檚 All England Lawn Tennis Club. 聽A listener complained the remarks were inaccurate and failed to reflect the opposition to the proposals. 聽The ECU considered whether the programme met the requirements for due accuracy and impartiality set out in the Guidelines.
Outcome
The brief remarks were made by contributors in the context of wider concerns about the efficiency of the planning system. 聽The ECU understood there were other views about the proposed development but considered that, in the context of a general discussion about ways to promote growth in the economy, it was not necessary pursue such opinions for due impartiality or accuracy to be maintained. 聽聽聽聽
