Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Director of Economy, Transport and Environment regarding the Appeal decisions for Ringwood & Fordingbridge Skip Hire, Courtwood Farm, Court Hill, Sandleheath.

The Committee received a report of the Head of Strategic Planning (Item 7 in the Minute Book), which advised Members of a recent successful planning appeal decision by Ringwood and Fordingbridge Skip Hire.  Members were also advised as to the appellant’s unsuccessful appeal against the Council’s Enforcement Notice.

Officers outlined the background to the planning application which was refused at the Regulatory Committee meeting on 24 January 2018.  It was heard that subsequently the applicant had changed the original application and ceased external recycling at the premises, and the main basis for the appeal was in connection with HGV numbers using the site.

Members also heard the Inspector determined that the appeal against the Council’s refusal to grant planning permission (APP/Q1770/W/18/3197963) be allowed and the appeal against the Council’s Enforcement Notices (APP/Q1770/C/18/3197890) be dismissed.  Further, the Inspector dismissed the appellant’s application for costs against the Council.

Members were content with the update and no questions were raised.

RESOLVED:

That the Regulatory Committee noted the report.
