Minutes:

Planning Application - 1no. Dwelling and detached garage

 

This application was referred to the Development Control Committee following consideration by the Delegation Panel at the request of the Ward Member (Barningham) Councillor Carol Bull.

 

The Delegation Panel subsequently recommended that the application be heard before the Development Control Committee in light of the support from Hepworth Parish Council which was in conflict with the Officer’s recommendation of refusal, for the reasons set out at Paragraph 48 of Report No DEV/WS/20/045.

 

As part of his presentation the Planning Officer took Members through videos of the site by way of a virtual ‘site visit’.

 

Speakers:    Councillor Carol Bull (Ward Member: Barningham) spoke in support of the application

                   Trevor Stimson (applicant) spoke in support of the application

 

A number of the Committee voiced support for the application and remarked on the lack of objection received to the scheme.

 

Councillor John Burns proposed that the application be approved, contrary to the Officer recommendation, as he considered it not to be in conflict with policies DM2 and DM22.  This was duly seconded by Councillor Jim Thorndyke.

 

Accordingly, the Committee was advised that the Decision Making Protocol would not be invoked in this instance as the judgement made was subjective. 

 

The Planning Officer then verbally outlined the conditions that could be applied to a permission.

 

The Chair, therefore, put the motion to the vote and with 10 voting for and 1 against it was resolved that
