There had been a site visit to the application site with the following members attending:

 

Cllr Josie Green

The planning officer introduced the report, which officers recommended for refusal, and drew members’ attention to the late list in which it was stated that an amended plan had been received showing surface/storm drainage of the site, condition 2 on the report would therefore be removed.

 

Members debated the application and concerns were raised regarding highways issues, boundary treatment and surface water drainage.

 

Resolved:

 

That subject to the completion within three months of a unilateral agreement in relation to policy R2 the application be APPROVED:

 

For the following reasons for approval

 

The site is within the Housing Policy Boundary (Policy H16) and Members agreed with the conclusions of the officer report that the proposed dwelling was of an appropriate scale and design for the site (Policy D2). Members considered that due to the number of dwellings that currently use the access road, that whilst they noted its condition, in this context, the addition of one additional dwelling was not significant
