Agenda item

Copies of the following papers attached:-

Duns to review the decision to refuse the planning application for the erection of 2 No. dwellinghouses on Land at Silo Bins, Edington Mill, Edington Mill Road, Chirnside.    The supporting papers included the Notice of Review (including the Decision Notice and Officer’s Report); Papers referred to in the Officer’s report; additional information; consultation replies; support comments, objection comments and list of policies.  The Planning Adviser drew attention to information, in the form of an amended site plan with enlarged intervening planting which had been submitted with the Notice of Review but which had not been before the Appointed Officer at the time of determination.  Members agreed that the information was new but considered that it met the Section 43B test, was material to the determination of the Review and could be considered. However, they also agreed that the amended site plan could not be considered without affording the Planning Officer an opportunity of making representations on this new information.
