Update from the Development Manager

 

Minutes:

The Committee noted the Strategic Lead – Planning Strategy and Development Management’s report setting out a list of planning appeals lodged and seven appeal decisions notified since the last committee and was pleased to report that six had been dismissed with only one allowed.

 

Members’ attention was drawn to the appeal allowed for planning application 20/1129/FUL – Greystones, Salcombe Regis, EX10 0JQ.  With disappointment the Strategic Lead – Planning Strategy and Development Management referred to the Inspectorates decision to allow the appeal which reflected on the Inspectorates relaxed views on house extensions.

 

The Committee also noted the list of the current appeals in progress.
