Planning appeal statistics pdf icon PDF 164 KB

Update from the Development Manager

 

Minutes:

The Committee noted the appeals statistics report. 

 

The Development Manager drew Members’ attention to the two appeal decisions.  The first appeal related to a Certificate of Lawfulness for planning application 20/0078/CPE – Stream Wood, Land NW of Yawl Cross, Uplyme.  The Inspector dismissed the appeal due to the lack of evidence provided concluding that the Authority’s refusal to grant a Lawful Development Certificate was well-founded.

 

The second appeal related to the serving of an Enforcement Notice to Thorn Park Family Golf Centre, Salcombe Regis.  The Inspector nullified the Notice determining it was defective and that it could not be corrected without causing injustice to the appellant.  Members’ noted that the outcome of this decision would result in a further Enforcement Notice being served on the property addressing the issues that the Inspector had raised.
