Public Participation:

Mr Robin Clarke, DPM – Rose & Crown Pub spoke in objection to the application

Mrs Verity Alsop spoke in objection to the application

Mr Patrick Oetiker, spoke in support of the application

 

Mr John Clee, representing Bulford Parish Council, spoke in objection to the application

 

Cllr Smale, the local member, spoke in objection to the application, on the basis of the size of the site and the application’s proximity to neighbouring properties when built, and supporting the Parish Council and local objections.

 

The Planning Officer outlined his report and drew members attention to additional comments received on the list of late correspondence. The application was a revised version of an application for the same site that had previously been considered by the Committee.

 

Members had a variety of views about the suitability of the plot for a family dwelling. A debate ensued and the following points were considered:

·         The reason for refusal when the previous design had been considered was based on the contemporary design.

·         The closeness of both the Pub and nearby Youth Club, which both had the capacity to generate noise, and thus become subject to complaints which would impair their operations

·         The provision of a needed family home in unused, rather than green space, in the centre of a village.

·         The nature of the plot means any house will probably be ‘hidden’ from the main road

 

Resolved:

 

That subject to the submission of a unilateral agreement under s106 of the Town and Country planning Act 1990, in relation to public recreational open space:

 

Planning Permission be GRANTED for the following reason:

 

It is considered that the proposed design has addressed the previous reason for refusal in relation to the uncharacteristic design, shape and form of the dwelling and that it would now respect the character and appearance of the area, including its architectural characteristics and materials. Subject to conditions the proposal would not result in unacceptable living conditions or adverse impacts upon neighbouring uses, and there would be no harm to highway safety or any other material planning consideration.
