Members were advised that this application had been held in abeyance pending a review of the Principal Holiday Accommodation Area Policy and that the applicant had stated his intention to appeal against non determination.  Confirmation of the appeal removed the right of the Local Planning Authority to formally determine the application, as this decision would be taken by the Planning Inspectorate.  Therefore members were requested to consider this application as if it were to be determined to make clear what its resolution would have been had it determined the application.
