Decision details

It was noted that this item had been deferred from the Planning Committee on 13 March to gather and report more information on parking and highway issues and the impact of the proposals on the setting of the conservation area and the adjacent listed structures.

The Committee were advised that since the meeting in March the application title had been amended to reflect legislative changes relating to permitted development rights and therefore full consultation had been repeated. It was noted that since the report had been published a further letter of support had been received along with clarification that the Baslow Parish Council’s objections were based on highway grounds only. The Committee were also advised that since this application had been last considered, the public house had closed.

It was noted that the Highways Authority had raised no objection to the proposals subject to the extension of double yellow lines and an extension to the existing steel barrier.

It was confirmed that Derbyshire Dales District Council had listed the Rutland Arms as an Asset of Community Value but as a food store was a community use this was not a valid reason to refuse the application.

Following discussion a motion to refuse the application due to the loss of an asset of community value was moved and seconded, put to the vote and lost.

A motion to approve the application in accordance with the officer recommendation was moved and seconded, subject to an amendment to the highway conditions. The motion was put to the vote and carried.

In accordance with Standing Order 1.12(2) Cllr Mrs N Hawkins and Cllr H Laws asked that their vote against the decision be recorded.
