Issue - meetings

The Planning Committee will consider the monthly schedule updating the position with regard to planning appeals, litigation and recent planning policy publications or pronouncements.

Mr Whitty drew Members attention to the information in the update sheet and the High Court action in respect of the land rear of Premier Motor Homes, Main Road, Birdham.  Mrs Archer explained an Injunction Order had been issued requiring removal of caravans and restoration of the land to agricultural use.  The occupants could challenge this order but it would require a robust case, and that could also result in contempt of court.  Mrs Archer further explained that direct action was a lengthy process, and it was hoped there would be compliance with the order before further actions were considered.

Members agreed to note this item.
