A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration submitted a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (copies of which have been circulated) summarising recent appeal decisions, current planning appeals and enforcement action within the Stepping Hill Area Committee area.

It was commented that at the last meeting, the area committee had resolved to ask the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration to identify a mechanism by which potentially sensitive development applications could be highlighted to ward councillors through the planning notification process.  It was noted that the response that had been provided was that development applications were published as part of the weekly list to councillors including a description of the development and some members expressed the view that this was an insufficient response to the concerns that they had raised.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
