To advise the Committee on Appeal decision determined by the Department for Communities and Local Government during

The Committee considered a report that detailed the outcome of appeal decisions determined by the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) during December 2009.

The Committee was advised that of the nine appeal decisions determined by the DCLG during December five had been allowed and four had been dismissed.

In response to a question from the Committee in respect of the decision on Gladwell Road Garages, it was reported that such sites were being considered on a case-by-case basis, and so this decision would have no broad policy impact in effect. Further to the decision in relation to the appeal relating to 51 Dongola Road, N17, it was suggested by the Committee that a restriction from conversion be applied to these houses. It was reported that this suggestion would be considered as part of the forthcoming policy report to Cabinet, and it was agreed that Cllr Dodds would put the suggestion in writing to Marc Dorfmann outside the meeting.

RESOLVED

That the report be noted.
