He added he plans to appeal the decision, made at a meeting on 5 September.

BBC NewsIt's a whizz worthy of Lyle Lanley, but could Derby be about to get its own monorail?
City council leader Chris Poulter says it's a possible way to connect people from the city to HS2, which is set to stop at a hub near Toton, and would be quicker than trams.
He told BBC Radio Derby's Chris Doidge the route could run from the city centre and call in at Pride Park on its way to connect with the proposed high-speed rail project.
Plans for a similar system were discussed more than a decade ago, and Bombardier are building trains for Cairo in Egypt, but does Derby need its own genuine, bona fide, electrified, (possibly) six-car monorail to put the city on the map?
Well, it worked for Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook...
