Planning application - one dwelling with outbuilding

Minutes:

Planning application - one dwelling with outbuilding

 

This application was referred to the Development Control Committee because the proposal was a departure from the Development Plan. Stansfield Parish Council had cited no objections to the scheme.

 

The officer report included details of the history of the site and in particular the fallback position of a consented replacement dwelling.

 

As part of her presentation to the meeting the Planning Officer drew attention to an error in Report No DEV/WS/21/011, in that Paragraph 14 could be disregarded as the outstanding comments made reference to were included elsewhere in the report.

 

The Officer also provided videos of the site by way of a virtual ‘site visit’.

 

Lastly, the ‘late papers’ issued after publication of the agenda were highlighted and which included further comments from the Highways Authority; who stated that in response to changes to the access and the visibility splay plan they no longer had any concerns with the application, subject to the inclusion of four additional conditions.

 

Accordingly, Officers were recommending that the application be approved subject to conditions as set out in Paragraph 53 of the report and in the late papers.

 

Speaker:      Russell Grant (applicant) spoke in support of the application

 

Councillor Peter Stevens proposed that the application be approved, as per the Officer recommendation, and this was duly seconded by Councillor Carol Bull.

 

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