Agenda item

Member of the public Steve Shaw spoke against the application. Nicolas Hurst Spoke in favour of the application.

 

The Team Leader introduced the application, which was for a proposed single storey dwelling. A presentation was delivered, which displayed a site location plan, photographs of the existing site and proposed plans. It was explained that the proposed build was a modern design but would be screened by significant boundary treatments and tree planting and therefore not visually prominent in the locality, or harmful to the character and appearance of the conservation area. Officers referred to the site history and how the revised proposals sought to address previous concerns with a modern design. Officers referred to an additional condition in the Late Observations.

 

There were no technical questions.

 

Cllr Chuck Berry spoke as Local Member. He confirmed that previous concerns raised by the parish council had been addressed and their objections were removed. He sought clarity that all trees would be protected, to ensure the screening and it was confirmed that they would be protected.

 

In the debate that followed, Cllr Chuck Berry proposed the Officer’s recommendation for approval. This was seconded by Cllr Gavin Grant and approved unanimously.
