PA/2022/2125 Planning permission to erect a new farm worker’s dwelling at Butterwick Grange Farm, Sand Road, West Butterwick, DN17 3LJ

Minutes:

The agent urged the committee to approve this application to allow for 5th generation farming family to live on the land.  He stated the business required rural workers to be able to live on the land for security reasons and to be onsite 24/7 for the agricultural needs.  He stated there had been no objections from statutory consultees or residents and was situated in the countryside. The applicant had been unable to find alternative accommodation nearby and felt that the applications met the needs of the local and national planning policies.

 

Cllr Rose spoke as the local Ward member in support of the application and felt it met essential planning requirements and was also essential to meet the needs of the business.

 

Cllr C Sherwood said whilst it was in the open countryside it was planned to be within a complex of buildings, and in conclusion did mot result in an alien form if it came with an agricultural tie.

 

It was moved by Cllr C Sherwood and seconded by Cllr Ross –

(viii) a list of all staff involved in the implementation of the strategy, including sub-contractors and specialists, their responsibilities and qualifications.

 

Reason
