The
Committee considered the report of the Head of Planning and
Development setting out details of appeal decisions received since
the last meeting.
Members
were disappointed by the decision of the Planning Inspector to
allow the appeal against the Committee’s decision to refuse
application 20/500269/FULL (Erection of 1 no. 4 bedroom detached
dwelling with associated amenity (Re-submission of 19/503872/FULL)
– Land South of South Cottage, High Street, Staplehurst,
Kent).
The
Development Manager advised the Committee that:
·
Reference was made in the decision notice to the
Council being unable to demonstrate a 5-year supply of deliverable
housing sites. This was not correct,
and the Officers would be writing to the Planning Inspectorate
drawing attention to the error.
·
The Inspector had allowed the appeal and granted
planning permission subject to conditions. The Council would be able to exert influence on
the proposed development during the assessment of the condition
submissions.
·
He would arrange for a copy of the decision notice
to be circulated to all Members and Substitute Members of the
Committee.
RESOLVED: That the report be
noted.
