Issue - meetings

To receive details of appeal decisions and appeals pending (see attached schedule.)

The Planning Appeals Update Report for September 2010 was received.

It was pointed out that there was an error in the report (page 33 of the agenda refers) and it should read as follows:

W/09/03287/OUT - Land Adjoining 14 Woodrow Road  Melksham

The Inspector in allowing the appeal considered that the main issue was whether the erection of a 2 storey dwelling in the side garden of No.14 Woodrow Road would have an unacceptable impact on the amenities enjoyed by the occupants of Nos 33 and 34 Woodcombe. 

Although he understood why members had been concerned about a possible loss of privacy he was of the opinion that this could be addressed by ensuring that there would be no overlooking of Nos 33 and 34 from any habitable rooms at first floor level. However no cost were awarded.

Resolved:

To note the Planning Appeals Update Report for September 2010.
