Update from the Development Manager

The Committee received and noted the report written by the Development Manager setting out appeals recently lodged and outlining the seven decisions notified of which - five had been dismissed, one had been allowed and one had been withdrawn. 

The Development Manager drew Members’ attention to the appeal of application 18/1030/VAR that had been allowed and advised that the Inspector determined that the distance between the windows and the neighbouring property was sufficient to prevent a significant loss of privacy and therefore the removal of the requirement for the window to be obscure glazed and fixed shut.
