To consider the report of the Service Manager Development & Estates.

Members considered the report of the Service Manager Development & Estates.

The Service Manager explained that this was the standard report which provided details of the present caseload in respect of Appeals, Consultations and DNS.  One of the main challenges experienced during the Covid-19 lockdown period had been the difficulty in supplying the Planning Inspector with background information for these cases and, as a result a number of these appeals had been held in abeyance.  However, the process had now recently been reactivated and officers were in the process of preparing and submitting statements on behalf of the Council in respecting the appeals detailed in the report.  It was noted that the appeal relating to Star Fields, Mountain Road, Ebbw Vale was the subject of a separate report on the agenda (Item No. 5).

Members who wished to submit their own individual representations in respect of any of the appeals would be required to quote the planning inspectorate appeal reference number detailed on the report.

It was unanimously,

RESOLVED that the report be accepted and the information contained therein be noted.
