Outline Planning Application (all matters reserved) - Provision of one dwelling.

Minutes:

Members were informed that this application was an outline planning application with all maters reserved for the erection of one dwelling. The site lay outside the Settlement Development Boundary but was considered by Officers to be acceptable subject to conditions and the completed RAMS Unilateral Undertaking.

 

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 Officer (CC) in respect of the application.

 

No updates had been circulated to Members in relation to this application.

 

Beth Deacon-Bates, the applicant’s agent, spoke in support of the application.

 

Matters raised by Members of the Committee:-

Officer response thereto:-

Can a condition be put on the trees?

Members can but at the reserved matters stage. Visibility splays that are part of a scheme does not necessarily mean it is only restricting the ground height to a certain height; there are conditions that can be worded that can consider over-hang as well. 

Would this application come back to the Committee for the reserved matters?

Not automatically, no. That is something that Members would need to debate.

 

It was moved by Councillor Alexander, seconded by Councillor Goldman and unanimously:-

 

RESOLVED that:-

 

1)    the Head of Planning and Building Control be authorised to grant planning permission subject to conditions as stated at paragraph 9.2 of the Officer report (A.5), the reserved matters application(s) coming to the Committee, or varied as is necessary to ensure the wording is enforceable, precise, and reasonable in all other respects, including appropriate updates, so long as the principle of the conditions as referenced is retained; and

 

2)    the sending of any informative notes to the applicant as may be deemed necessary.
