Issue - meetings

There was no Planning Officer update.

Parish Councillor Andrew Gallagher spoke to say there was a recent example of an application at a nearby property being refused on appeal as the scheme benefit did not outweigh the harm it would cause to the character and appearance of the area, and had concerns the same would happen on this property.

The Planning Officer noted these comments.  The pending Certificate of Lawfulness Application was separate and the planning application needed to be considered on its own merits, however, it would be appropriate to add an informative to advise that any planning application and Certificate of Lawfulness would need to be implemented as separate building operations.

Councillor Sara Bedford, seconded by Councillor Raj Khiroya, moved the recommendation that Planning Permission be granted with an additional informative added reminding the applicant that the development works cannot be undertaken at the same time as any development which was the subject of a separate Lawful Development Certificate application.

On being put to the Committee the motion was declared CARRIED by the Chair the voting being unanimous.

RESOLVED:

That Planning Permission be GRANTED in accordance with the officer recommendation, with an additional informative reminding the applicant that the development works cannot be undertaken at the same time as any development subject of a separate Lawful Development Certificate application the wording of the informative to be as follows:

The applicant is reminded that the development works subject of this grant of planning permission cannot be undertaken at the same time as any development subject of a separate Lawful Development Certificate Application.  Please contact the Planning Office on 01923 776611 if you have any queries.
