(Report attached)

The Committee received an item of information in relation to the outcome of an appeal against a refusal of Planning Permission relating to a conservatory linking a main building to an outbuilding, made by Officers under delegated powers, namely:

Planning Application 2011/323/FUL

Replacement Dwelling

Members noted that the appeal against the Council’s decision to refuse Planning Permission had been dismissed by the Inspector, who had considered that, whilst the proposal would not result in a disproportionate addition and would not be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, it would impact significantly on the character and appearance of the existing buildings.

RESOLVED that

the item of information be noted.
