This report summarised the work carried out on planning appeals from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019. During the year 24 appeals were decided of which 9 (38%) were allowed which whilst lower than the previous year (41%) was still higher than the target of 30%. Of those appeals which were allowed the Inspector had a site-specific judgement different from that of the Authority however there were no appeals allowed which were fundamentally contrary to Policy of which raised wider policy issues.

Members queried the number of delegated decisions however the figures provided in the report solely related to the number of full planning applications determined by Officers and did not  include non- material amendments and the discharge of conditions.

A motion to note the report was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.
