Agenda item

The Committee received a report of the Chief Planning Officer advising of the decisions made by the Planning Inspectorate on appeals made against the

decisions of the City Corporation since the last report in September 2015.

The Committee sought clarification on the one appeal against non-determination which had been allowed and noted that the matter had been deferred by the Committee to enable further negotiation with the applicant. Instead of entering into negotiation the applicant had decided to appeal against non-determination to the Planning Inspectorate.

A Member expressed concern in case the applicant had gained approval by default but was advised that this was not the case as the City Corporation as Local Planning Authority had resisted the appeal on the grounds of concern to the Committee. It was noted that no costs had been awarded against the City Corporation.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
