Decisions:

Some Members had visited the site the previous day.

 

The Planning Officer presented the report and outlined the reasons for refusal as set out in the report. It was noted that this application is similar to a scheme submitted in 2022 which was refused under policy due to the size of the development. It was acknowledged that this current application is an improvement on the original scheme.

 

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

·         Alison Daniels, Tideswell Parish Council, Supporter

·         Andrew Bettney, Applicant

 

Members agreed that the site visit had been useful and recognised that previous concerns over storage space had been resolved.  Members were minded to go against Officer recommendation and approve the application.  Approval of this application would regularise previous unauthorised development and equip Tideswell Welding Services for the future.  It was recognised the business provided employment and training opportunities for local people within the National Park.

 

A motion to approve the application was proposed and seconded, put to the vote and carried.
