Good morning all,

For context, we do not have an MPC so we, at the administration level, are the development authority.
I have had an application submitted where an applicant asked us to make a similar in nature use designation for his proposal. We deemed the use not to be similar in nature and therefore a prohibited use. The applicant has decided he wants to proceed with applying regardless, likely looking towards an appeal.

Have any of you had a similar situation? I am mostly trying to get ahead on documentation to ensure that all of our Ts are crossed and Is are dotted for appeal, but is there anything that we should be thinking about while the initial application is under our review process?

I appreciate any thoughts or experiences you may be able to share!
