The Committee considered the report of the Head of Planning and Development setting out details of appeal decisions received since the last meeting.  The Major Projects Manager advised the Committee that two of the decisions were relevant in so far as they were both delegated refusals, both dismissed at appeal and the Inspector in each case supported the Council’s view that the proposals represented poor quality over-development and adversely affected the character and appearance of the area.  Further, the Inspector in each case did not afford any weight to the contribution of a single dwelling to the Council’s housing supply.  They did not consider that the benefit of a single unit outweighed the harm to the character of the area.

RESOLVED:  That the report be noted.
