The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Development Management setting out details of appeal decisions received since the last meeting.  The Head of Development Management advised the Committee that:-

·  The decision to refuse application MA/10/1741 had been made by the Planning Committee and not under delegated powers as stated in the urgent update report.

·  Costs had been awarded against the Council in relation to the appeals against refusal of applications MA/10/1345 (which had been dismissed) and MA/10/1741 (which had been allowed).

·  The decision to allow the appeal against refusal of application MA/11/0476 reflected the differing approach taken by Inspectors to what represented a sympathetic extension to a former farm building.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the report be noted.

2.  That the relevant Case Officers be thanked for their work in relation to the appeals against refusal of applications MA/10/0167 and MA/10/1345.
