Planning Application DC/16/0179/FUL - 2no. two storey dwellings as amended by drawing nos. 755/1, 2, 3, 4, 5,  6, 7 and 16 5638 10 Rev J received 20th May, 27th June and 20th July 2016 revising layout and design and omitting 1no. dwelling.

This application was referred to the Development Control Committee due to the complex policy issues.

A Member site visit was held prior to the meeting.  Officers were recommending that the application be approved, as set out in Paragraph 64 of Report No DEV/FH/16/019.

Councillor Brian Harvey raised a query with regard to the amended scheme no longer containing garages.  The Planning Officer explained that in order to alleviate Members’ concerns with this element a condition could be added to remove permitted development rights, therefore, ensuring that a planning application would have to be submitted for any further development on the site.

Councillor Carol Lynch spoke in support of the application in view of the Parish Council and neighbours supporting the scheme.  She moved that it be approved, inclusive of the additional condition regarding permitted development rights, and this was duly seconded by Councillor John Bloodworth.

With the vote being unanimous, it was resolved that:
