Report No. PLA1016 by the Development Management Service Manager.(Enclosure)

The Development Management Service Manager submitted his report listing details of applications not determined within the eight week time period.  Also submitted was a list of applications dealt with under delegated powers and a list of outstanding planning appeals, together with a schedule showing planning applications performance as at April/August 2013.

The Development Management Service Manager drew the attention of Members to the appeal result attached to the report, in relation to the erection of a dwelling adjacent to 3 High Street, Pointon.  The appeal had been heard at a public inquiry, and he complimented the officers who had appeared for the District Council, for whom it was their first inquiry.  The hard work undertaken both before and at the inquiry had resulted in the dismissal of the appeal and the award of costs to the Council.

The Chairman told the committee that, as authorised at the last meeting he had, together with the Vice-Chairman and Development Management Service Manager, agreed the Committee’s views on the applications for submission to Newark and Sherwood District Council and Rutland County Council, and had responded accordingly.  The Deeping St James application had been withdrawn, but the information formulated would be kept on file.  He thanked the committee for their support and views.

The meeting closed at 2.18pm
