Issue - meetings

Members considered the retrospective application, which was recommended for approval, for change of use of the outbuildings to allow use as a residential annexe ancillary to Burton Farmhouse.

It was requested that the variation to the S106 to allow sleeping be worded so as to ensure that it was only for the time that the named occupants remain in residence.

Resolved:

That the application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:

(i) The applicants entering into a deed of variation to the existing Section 106 legal agreement to permit overnight sleeping in the annexe so long as one or other (or both) of the named residents are also in residence. The named residents of the annexe are Mr John Harold Deeker and Mrs Pamela Iris Deeker. The other restrictions and provisos of the existing legal agreement shall remain unaltered.

It is resolved that planning permission should be granted subject to the following conditions:

1. The residential occupation of the ancillary outbuilding/annexe hereby permitted shall only be by the following person(s): Mr John Harold Deeker & Mrs Pamela Iris Deeker

REASON: Permission would not normally be granted for this development, but regard has been paid to the personal circumstances of the applicant which are considered, exceptionally in this case, to be sufficient to outweigh the normal planning policy considerations which would normally lead to a refusal of planning permission.

POLICY – H33 (Accommodation for Dependent Persons)

2. When the ancillary outbuilding/annexe ceases to be residentially occupied by those named in condition 1 above, the use hereby permitted shall revert to ancillary private and domestic purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the associated dwelling (known as Burton Farm House), and shall not be used for any trade, business or industrial purposes whatsoever.

REASON: Permission would not normally be granted for this development, but regard has been paid to the personal circumstances of the applicant which are considered, exceptionally in this case, to be sufficient to outweigh the normal planning policy considerations which would normally lead to a refusal of planning permission.

POLICY – G2 (General Criteria for Development) & C2 (Development in the Countryside)
