Agenda item

The Committee considered the monthly report on planning appeals lodged, withdrawn and decided.

The Officer informed Members that over the last month 7 decisions had been received, 5 appeals were dismissed and 2 allowed, of which 1 related to an historic planning permission which had applied two agricultural occupancy conditions, one placed on an existing house as well as a new build agricultural worker dwelling.  The Inspector found that the house was beyond affordability of any agricultural worker and therefore the occupancy condition no longer served a useful purpose, did not meet the test of necessity and could be removed.

Members noted that overall there was good successes regarding planning appeals.

RESOLVED:

To note the report.
