PLANNING APPLICATION, NUPEND

An application to build 6 houses (3 affordable and 3 market) had been submitted and approved under delegated powers by SDC. Stephen Davies, our District Councillor, asked for the application to be called in asthe decision had not been issued. In the event the DCC on the

12 th January rejected the application on grounds of sustainability. Recently an inspector overturned a refused application in Arlingham as it was in a field with services a little less than 2 miles away like Nupend. SDC are seeking a Judicial Review of the Inspector’s decision. Some Councillors believed consistency of approach was important. The Nupend application was rejected 5 votes to 4.
