Mr Mark
Green, the Director of Finance and Business Improvement, presented
a report on costs of planning appeals to the Committee.
It was
noted that:
·
The Committee requested this report following the
meeting on 7 November 2017 when the second quarter budget
monitoring report was presented and it set out a projected
overspend in development control appeals.
·
This report highlighted the budgeted and actual
costs arising from development control appeals over the previous
five years.
In
response to a question from the Committee, Mr Green replied that
the figures from ongoing appeals had not been included as they were
subject to work going on and the exact figures were not yet
known.
In
response to a question from the Committee, Mr Rob Jarman, the Head
of Planning and Development, replied that several of the appeals
found in Table 1.9 had been allowed because the Council could not
demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply. As the Council now had a
housing land supply of over 6 years this was no longer the
case.
RESOLVED:
That the information regarding the financial impact
of planning appeals since 2013/14 be noted.
