Planning appeal statistics pdf icon PDF 213 KB

Update from the Development Manager

 

Minutes:

Members noted the planning statistics report that set out two appeal decision notices, both of which had been dismissed.  The first appeal relating to a Listed Building Consent for Hillside Farm, Harcombe was dismissed as the Inspector had been in the agreement that there would be harm to the setting and features of the building and the second relating to 18 Victoria Road, Exmouth for the demolition of garage and erection of one bedroom dwelling had been dismissed as the Inspector agreed with officers concerns in relation to the design, impact on amenities and flood risk.

 

The Development Manager updated Members on the appeal at the Cattle Market, Honiton, advising that the applicant had challenged the Inspector’s decision to dismiss the appeal in the High Court.  He advised the Inspectorate had conceded the Judicial Review and that the result of this is that the Inspectorate will need to determine the appeal again, potentially through a further inquiry.
