Decision details

Members had visited the site the previous day.

In introducing the report it was confirmed that the applicant was Mr Tom Bell and not the person stated in the report.

The following spoke under the Public Participation at Meetings Scheme:

•        Mr Tom Bell, Applicant

•        Mrs Sarah Bell

There was a discussion on whether condition 7 was strong enough to ensure that the ancillary accommodation remained part of the main property and whether a S106 agreement was appropriate.  The Officer view was that condition 7 was sufficient in this instance because of the scale of the accommodation and its relationship to the house. 

The Officer recommendation was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:

To APPROVE the application subject to the following conditions or modifications:

1.         Statutory three year time limit for implementation.
