Agenda item

The Director of Conservation & Planning informed the committee that an email had been received from the applicant for minute number 142/20 of the Planning Committee on 11 December 2020 which was addressed to all Members regarding concerns that the minutes were not an accurate record .  The Director of Conservation & Planning clarified that the minutes were not a verbatim record of the discussions at committee but a summary of the discussion and that the details of the decision in the minutes were accurate.

The applicant would be advised of three courses of action open to them as advised by Officers:

·         Appeal the refusal decision

·         Review their proposal and re-submit following pre-application discussions with Officers

·         Apply for leave to judicially review the decision

Further discussions had been offered to the applicant along with pre application advice, which had not been available when the first application had been submitted. 

The minutes of the Planning Committee held on 11 December 2020 were approved as a correct record subject to the following amendments:

Corrections were noted to page 6 Minute no.116/20 – replacement of agricultural with arboricultural in the first paragraph of that item.

In relation to Page 26/27 there was discussion on the spelling of the word Menage – however Officers explained that this spelling was consistent with the spelling used by the applicant and therefore should not be amended.
