Agenda and minutes

Councillor Longcake for Councillor Hannigan.

The following member declared he had been lobbied:

Councillor Wells – Application PA/2022/1451

Resolved – That the minutes of the meeting held on 11 January, having been printed and circulated amongst the members, be taken as read and correctly recorded and be signed by the chairman.

The Head of Planning and Development provided an update to the committee, informing them that due to new additional information coming to light during the site visit with regards to the parking, that the application be deferred to consider the information in more depth.

It was agreed by the committee that they proceed with the application and the information before them.

An objector who addressed the committee previously reiterated her concerns, and highlighted the business was in an inappropriate location within a residential setting.  It was not suitable for a business due to noise from the children and activities during the day. There was safety issues with the parking, and walking the children down to the nearby field proposed for additional parking as there was no footpath.

The applicant stated the business had been running for a number of years with no proven noise concerns, and there would be short scheduled time periods when the children would be playing outside.  She indicated they had secured some land for parking as respect to the neighbours, and had exhausted all avenues for all involved. They had strict operation hours and in term-time only.

Cllr J Davison highlighted that the business had been successfully running with six children and no complaints, and was a much needed provision within the area. He was pleased to see additional parking provisions had been sought, and the local support for the proposal was overwhelming. Following the site visit he felt the application should be approved.

Cllr Grant was of the same opinion as the previous speaker following the site visit, and was satisfied with the application.

It was moved by Cllr J Davison and seconded by Cllr Ross –

The agent spoke on the application indicating the need for the dwelling for the agricultural business. He stated there was an essential need to have a rural worker to be near the work, and also for security purposes.  He highlighted there had been no objections from statutory consultees, the flood zone risk was acceptable, and was part of a sustainable community, playing a significant part of the agricultural community.

Cllr J Davison referred to rural crimes going through the roof in remote locations. Therefore, felt the proposal was acceptable with a need to support the agricultural community, and the location was very remote to sell on.

The agent for the application outlined the proposal to convert the modern barn, and indicated it was just outside the parameters for not requiring permission. He indicated the proposal was to reduce the barn in size, and was the last piece of the puzzle on the site.

Cllr Ross stated that she knew the site and anything would be an improvement so welcomed the proposals.

Resolved – That planning permission be approved in accordance with the recommendations contained within the officer’s report.

Resolved – That planning permission be approved in accordance with the recommendations contained within the officer’s report.

The applicant addressed the committee and urged them to allow them to remove an agricultural condition from dwelling. She indicated that the officer’s had recommended approval as it had not been a farm for years, and they had also tried to sell the property and had failed to do so with the condition attached to it.

Cllr J Davison having read the report felt satisfied and agreed the condition should be removed.

Resolved – That planning permission be approved in accordance with the recommendations contained within the officer’s report.

An objector addressed the committee with a number of concerns against the application.  He stated that the access was so close to the junction it was a highway safety issue. The parking provision to the front of the property was not adequate. The actual site maps indicate the application would go over the site boundaries. It was not in keeping with the neighbouring properties, and the plot was so much smaller than the others in the area.

Councillor J Davison felt that the committee needed to go visit the site as it looked a very small plot from the plans.

It was moved by Cllr J Davison and seconded by Cllr Grant –

That a site visit be held before a decision it taken, and be brought back to a future meeting.

                                                                                  Motion Carried.

Resolved – That planning permission be approved in accordance with the recommendations contained within the officer’s report.
