Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered the report of the Business Manager – Planning Development, which provided implications of new evidence on pending planning appeals in relation to the two applications, detailed above.
The two 49.9MW Solar Farm applications were considered by the Planning Committee on 9 November 2023 where Members resolved to refuse planning permission for both schemes, contrary to officer recommendation. The reasons for refusal were contained within the report. The appellant had submitted, as part of the appeal, amended plans for both applications which reduced the number of solar panels for each application. The amended plans were considered by Officers to meet the ‘Wheatcroft principle’ whereby the plans were not materially different to that considered by the Planning Committee.
AGREED (unanimously) that the report be noted. |
