Agenda item

Andrew Pywell spoke in support of the application.

 

Cllr Charles Cooke, Minety Parish Council, spoke in objection to the application.

 

The planning officer introduced the application which was for the erection of a new 4 bed detached dwelling. The officer’s report recommended that planning permission be granted, subject to the conditions and informatives in the report, as amended by the late observations. Attention was drawn to the late observations which recommended the removal of condition 3 and amendment to condition 12. Photographs of the existing cottage and proposed elevations of the new dwelling were shown. The planning officer described that the proposal was considered to be infill development.

 

In response to technical questions, it was confirmed that the site was outside a previous settlement boundary however this boundary had not been retained as part of the Core Strategy and therefore was not a planning consideration. The planning officer stated that this application was considered to be within the built form of the village. Members were advised that a limited scope construction method statement could be conditioned to address members concerns about parking and traffic during construction.

 

Members of the public then addressed the Committee as detailed above.

 

The local member, Cllr Chuck Berry, spoke against the application on the grounds that it was unsuitable for the location and unsustainable. The councillor also considered the previous settlement boundary to be relevant to the application.

 

In the debate that followed, members discussed whether the application could be considered as an infill development and whether housing was needed in the area. Cllr Hutton, seconded by Cllr Greenman proposed the officer recommendation, as amended by the late observations, and with the addition of a condition requiring a construction method statement to address parking and traffic concerns.
