Decisions:

The officer explained that following the 2007 permission to extend the farmhouse, the applicant had rebuilt all the walls following the collapse of some during construction. This effectively negated the permission as the work constituted a replacement dwelling.

Two objections had been received saying that the proposal was not like the original building and also objecting to a retrospective application.

Officers explained the reasoning for the condition withdrawing permitted development rights as the site was in a prominent location.

The recommendation for approval was moved and seconded subject to the deletion from condition 6 that rainwater goods should be black. Members also proposed an additional condition to manage sustainability of the building.

Cllr H Laws left the meeting at 3pm, prior to the vote.

The motion including the amended condition and additional condition was voted upon and carried.
