During the period under review there were a potential 1,039 planning applications we could have looked at. We sifted through these applications and considered in detail 72 of them. The Group wrote twenty seven letters to the Head of Planning Services on a wide range of individual planning applications. Of those applications eleven were approved as submitted; four were approved after amending plans were received and those plans usually took our concerns into account; three were withdrawn; seven were refused and, at the time of writing, two applications had not been decided. Only one of the refused applications was appealed and that appeal was dismissed.
