Planning appeal statistics PDF 120 KB Update from the Development Manager
Minutes: The Committee noted the Development Manager’s report which included two updates. The first related to an appeal against an enforcement notice in respect of Higher Wick Farm (21/F0358). Members were advised that as the enforcement notice had not specified sufficient information on the alleged breach the Inspector had deemed it invalid.
The second related to an appeal against the refusal of a lawful development certificate in respect of Salcombe Regis Camping and Caravan Park (23/0027/CPL) which would have allowed the siting a large number of static caravans with unfettered use. The Development Manager was pleased to report that as a result of all the hard work from officers representing the council’s position the Inspector had dismissed this appeal which was a good result for the council and residents. |
