As in report

Additional documents:

Decision:

That the decision of the Inspector to allow this appeal be noted.

Minutes:

Councillor Mike Peers commented that the Committee had unanimously refused this application and commented on the advice which had been given previously in 2010 by the Planning Officer that affordable housing was required on the site but rather than put them on the site the monies should be used for off-site affordable housing provision. However, the Inspector had commented that this did not accord with the adopted Development Plan so such obligation was not necessary in the case of the appeal development.

 

            He also commented on the Inspector’s report, but questioned the comments within the report which stated that no evidence had been provided and said that evidence had been provided on behalf of the Planning Committee.  He also questioned the Inspector’s comments around the character of the development and provision of affordable housing.    

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the decision of the Inspector to allow this appeal be noted.
