The Development and Conservation Manager advised the Committee that there had been two planning appeal decisions, both had been dismissed. The inspector noted on the Land west of Therfield decision that the site was more suitable for 3 dwellings, and a new scheme may be submitted.

 

In response to questions, the Development and Conservation Manager advised that:

 

·       The Wymondley Solar Farm application had been refused by the inspector. However, the Secretary of State had overruled this decision and granted planning permission, as it was felt that the benefits outweighed the heritage harms.

·       The costs to the Council for external, expert support was £91,600 and this excluded the cost for Officers time.

 

RESOLVED: That the Committee noted the report.
