Planning Appeals pdf icon PDF 183 KB

To note Planning Appeal decision AWDM/1314/22, copy attached as item 8

Minutes:

The Planning Service Manager presented the report on an appeal decision, clarifying which application the appeal pertained to. He explained that the application had been refused at Committee, the applicant had appealed and the Council had lost that appeal. The report showed how the Planning Inspector had ruled that the reasons given by the Committee for rejecting the application, were, in his opinion, not warranted.

Members asked the Officer if the appeal hearing was a public meeting and the Officer confirmed that it was. He explained that whilst the Council can be liable for costs when losing an appeal if their actions were deemed unreasonable by the Planning Inspector, that had not been the case in this appeal.

Members noted that approving an application, with conditions, gave the Committee more control over an application than rejecting it and the application being allowed on appeal, where conditions and any Section 106 contributions are decided by the Inspector.
