Update from the Development Manager

Minutes:

The Committee received and noted the Development Manager’s report setting out appeals recently lodged and outlining 7 appeal decisions of which all 7 had been dismissed.

 

The Development Manager drew Members’ attention to the appeal of application 18/0054/COU which had been dismissed due to policy in the Local Plan requiring a 12 month period of marketing.  The Development Manager highlighted its relevance as it had similar issues to a couple of items on the agenda.

 

The Development Manager also drew Member’s attention to the appeal of application 18/2608/OUT which was discussed at the last committee and advised the applicant had now submitted an appeal.
