Agenda item

Christopher Page spoke in objection to the application.

King Scott spoke in support of the application on behalf of the applicant.

Cllr Kimbel, Oaksey Parish Council, spoke in objection to the application.

The officer introduced the report which recommended that planning permission be granted subject to conditions, as amended by the late observations. A site plan and floorplans were shown; it was explained the application had the same footprint as a previous application but was single-storey.

The Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions during which it was confirmed the ridge height of the proposed development would be slightly higher than that of the old bakery.

Following the statements from members of the public the planning officer confirmed an application had previously been made by the same applicant.

The local member, Cllr Berry, encouraged applicants to consult with neighbours before they submitted applications to the local planning authority.

In the debate that followed Members commented the development would compliment the main building.

Resolved:

To GRANT planning permission subject to the following conditions:

1.    The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

INFORMATIVES

6.    You are advised that the current scale of the business operate at the site is considered as ancillary to the main residential use of the dwelling. Any increase in intensity of use of the business at the site, including employment of staff, increase in customers to the site and use of more floor space of the dwelling for operation may require planning permission for a change of use.

7.    Any alterations to the approved plans, brought about by compliance with Building Regulations or any other reason must first be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority before commencement of work.

8.    The applicant is requested to note that this permission does not affect any private property rights and therefore does not authorise the carrying out of any work on land outside their control. If such works are required it will be necessary for the applicant to obtain the landowners consent before such works commence. If you intend carrying out works in the vicinity of the site boundary, you are also advised that it may be expedient to seek your own advice with regard to the requirements of the Party Wall Act 1996.
