Issue - meetings

Two proposed dwellings and gardens.

Councillor V E Guglielmi had earlier declared an interest in relation to this Application insofar as she was associated with the applicant through the Lawford Housing Trust.

It was reported that outline planning permission for 3 dwellings had been refused on 7 June 2016 (16/00532/OUT), and a later application for the outline erection of 2 dwellings – all matters reserved -  had been approved by the Committee on 2 November 2016 (Ref 16/01373/OUT). The current application before Members was a full application [rather than a reserved matters submission], however it was clear that the Committee had wanted to review the detailed application following the approval of the outline application.

The Committee had before it the published Officer report containing the key planning issues, relevant planning policies, planning history, any response from consultees, written representations received and a recommendation of approval.

At the meeting, an oral presentation was made by the Council’s Planning Team Leader (SE) in respect of the application.

Will Vote, on behalf of the applicant, spoke in support of the application.

Following discussion by the Committee, it was moved by Councillor McWilliams, seconded by Councillor Baker and RESOLVED that the Head of Planning (or equivalent authorised officer) be authorised to grant planning permission for the development, subject to the following planning conditions –

1. 3 Year Time limit

2. Approved plans

3. Visibility splays

4. Vehicular parking and turning facility

5. No unbound materials in first 6m of access

6. Private drive constructed to a width of 5.5 metres

7. Soft landscaping scheme

8. Vegetation clearance to be undertaken outside of the bird nesting season

9. Continued grazing or regular cuts to grassland undertaken at a low sward height

10. Replacement of any lost hedgerows within the development
