Minutes:
Audio recording – 43 minutes 16 seconds
The Principal Planning Officer (Development Management) presented the report entitled ‘Planning Appeals’ and advised that:
· The had been one appeal withdrawn which had been submitted alongside a planning application. The planning application would be brought before the Committee at a future meeting.
· There had been three appeal decisions all of which had been dismissed.
· It was interesting to note that the hearing for the agricultural workers dwelling was dismissed due to there being no evidence that a property of this type was justified in that location. However, the Inspector did conclude that if the proposal had been for a market house under the grey belt, it would have been approved.
In response to a question from Councillor Louise Peace, the Principal Planning Officer advised that details of appeals could only be publicised once a start date had been given and this could sometimes take up to 18 months.
