Agenda item

The Committee considered the monthly report on planning appeals lodged, withdrawn and decided.

The Head of Planning gave an update on the Planning Inspectorates appeal decision regarding Top Riley Lane where the application was refused by Members on the basis that the pods were large and went beyond the perimeters of the Authority’s policies for smaller simple pods. The application was resubmitted and approved for smaller simple pods, but this appeal was against the first application for the larger more chalet like pods in that location. The Head of Planning reported that the Authority were content that there was minimal landscape concerns but it did raise issues on policy going forward and how we frame our approach to these different products.

RESOLVED:

To note the report.
