Issue - meetings

To consider any Part I Business accepted by the Chair as urgent.

At this juncture the Head of Planning Enforcement gave an update on the Icon Building Appeal. A cost claim was lodged against SBC by Hill Residential Limited as they believed the reasons for refusal were unreasonable and the Council did not have sufficient evidence to demonstrate the issue around car parking. The Head of Planning and Enforcement stated the inspector had given the Council 7 days to issue a rebuttal and a rebuttal was issued by officers on behalf of the Council. The next stage in terms of process would be to issue a statement of comment grounds which was in progress and a statement around section 106 and CIL and a main statement of case to defend SBC i.e.., why the application was refused by the Council.
