The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Planning setting out details of appeal decisions received since the last meeting.  With regard to the appeal against refusal of application MA/10/2028, which was dismissed, it was noted that the Inspector’s decision on the appellant’s application for costs was still awaited.

The Head of Planning advised the Committee that the appeal decisions in relation to applications MA/10/1221 and MA/10/1222 emphasised the importance of being very careful when considering (a) granting a temporary planning permission and (b) restricting the number of caravans on gypsy plots.

RESOLVED:  That the report be noted.
