The Committee received a report on the types of development that could be submitted for Prior Approval and providing a summary of applications received and decisions taken in accordance with the prior approval process as set out in the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (GPDO 2015) as amended. Table 1 set out five prior approval applications received, and Table 2 had no applications for prior approval decided, between 12 July and 23 August 2024.

It was proposed at the meeting that, instead of having a report on applications for prior approval to every meeting, officers produce an update report for the Committee on a quarterly basis in future.

Resolved –

(1)       That the report be noted;

(2)       That in future the Committee receive a quarterly update report on applications for prior approval.
