Planning Application - (i) 1no. dwelling with detached garages for new and existing dwellings (ii) Creation of vehicular access (Previous application DC/16/0001/FUL)

This application was referred to the Development Control Committee following consideration by the Delegation Panel.  The item was presented to the Panel due to the Parish Council having objected to the proposed development and Councillor Ian Houlder (Ward Member: Barrow) having raised concerns.

Officers were recommending that the application be approved, subject to conditions as set out in Paragraph 28 of Report No DEV/SE/19/025.

Within her presentation to the Committee the Senior Planning Officer made reference to the planning history of the site.  Members were also advised of a related application where development had commenced according to the applicant.  Officers were in the process of assessing the site in question but reminded the Committee that it was not relevant to the proposal they were considering.

Councillor Ian Houlder (Ward Member: Barrow) addressed the meeting on behalf of Barrow Parish Council who had been unable to attend.  He outlined their comments/concerns in relation to the application.

Councillor David Nettleton moved that the application be approved, as per the Officer recommendation.  This was duly seconded by Councillor Robert Everitt.

Upon being put to the vote and with the vote being unanimous, it was resolved that
