To receive details of completed and pending appeals and other updates as appropriate.

The Chairman invited Kenny Green, Development Management Team Leader, to update the Committee on the pending and determined appeals as per the appeals report included within the Agenda Pack.

The eight determined appeals were detailed, with Members being informed of the successful defence of all eight. Particular reference was made to the appeal decisions for applications PL/2021/10755, PL/2022/09397, and PL/2023/05160.

Members were also advised that following the publication of the agenda, the Planning Inspectorate had refused the appeal for application PL/2022/08726, pertaining to the erection of 1 No. dwelling and detached garage outside of Hilperton. Members were congratulated in refusing that application with the Planning Inspector concurring with the reasons for refusal identified; namely, the material harm the proposal would have on the setting and identity of Hilperton village and heritage assets.

Mr Francis Morland then presented a statement to the Committee under public participation and referenced the rules of procedure for public participation in Committee meetings in accordance with Wiltshire Council’s Constitution. Mr Morland then highlighted a missing appeal decision within the published list relating to application PL/2023/00952. Officers apologised for the oversight and reassured Members that the appeal decision would be included within the Agenda Pack for the next meeting of the Committee.

After which, it was:
