City Council meeting tonight

The City Council summer recess has now ended and council committees started again this evening with the Development Management Committee.   

It was a relatively light agenda but I did make comment on issues surrounding the new right of appeal over Section 75 agreements that the City Council has used responsibly in various ways, for example, to restrict, in appropriate circumstances, the use of new housing from becoming Houses in Multiple Occupation.

I also welcomed the planning appeal outcome at the Tay Mills flats in Brown Street.   I mentioned this on www.dundeewestend.com last month and the Reporter's decision was reported to committee this evening.
