The Committee received a report on notifications received from the Planning Inspectorate on planning appeals registered with them or decisions made and providing summary reports on appeal decisions of interest to the Committee.

No new appeals had been lodged since the last Committee. Appendix 2 to the report set out details of five appeals decided since the last Committee with comments from officers.

The Committee noted that all five appeals in Appendix 2 had been dismissed, with the Planning Inspector supporting the reasons for refusal given by the case officers.

Resolved –

(1)       That the outcome of the recently determined appeals, as set out in Appendix 2, be noted;

(2)       That planning officers be congratulated on the appeal outcomes, which reflected their considered and policy-driven decisions on planning applications.
