The Development and Conservation Manager provided an update on Planning Appeals and advised that:
· One appeal decision had been received and the appeal had been allowed, relating to St Albans Road, Codicote. The Inspector had found the development was inappropriate, as it would cause harm to the greenbelt, however, it was allowed due to the specific circumstances on this site and potential conflict with the Equality Act 2010.
· One appeal had been lodged for a two-storey side extension in Baldock.
Councillor Martin Prescott noted that it was disappointing that the appeal in Codicote was allowed, as it implied that rules did not seem to apply to all people equally.
