Agenda item

The Director of Conservation & Planning presented the annual report and confirmed that 41 appeals had been decided during 2016/17 and 66% had been dismissed which is lower than in previous years resulting in 34% of appeals being allowed. Each appeal allowed had been analysed by the Director who confirmed that none of those allowed were fundamentally contrary to policy or raised wider policy issues. Members suggested that Officers send them an electronic link to the appeal decisions when they are received.

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.
