Full Application - Erection of stables and store at Westfield, Pinfold Hill, Curbar

Minutes:

Members had visited the site on the previous day.

 

The Planning Officer introduced the report.

 

Members requested that the reference to matt black paint for the cladding in the conditions be removed and a natural wood coloured stain that would weather be used for treatment of the cladding.

 

The Officer recommendation to approve the application was moved and seconded.

 

Members requested an additional condition to ensure waste material from the stables was stored or removed with minimum impact.

 

The Planning Officer agreed to add a condition for the management plan for storage or removal of waste from the stables including storage on site.

 

Members requested clarification regarding other similar applications and future impact which the Planning Officer agreed to clarify by email to all members following the meeting.

 

Members raised concerns regarding the store which was to be attached to the bungalow and the possibility of this becoming habitable space. The Planning Officer confirmed the location was chosen as an unused corner and that there were no concerns regarding becoming part of the living area as there was no internal connection to the house and the construction of the store was not suitable for habitation.  An additional condition to ensure the store could not be part of the living space was considered necessary by members and the officer confirmed this could  be added.

 

The Planning Officer confirmed there were three amendments or additional conditions relating the colour of the stain on the wood cladding, the management of the waste from the stables and the restriction on the store relating to it becoming part of the main house.

 

The Officer recommendation to approve the application subject to changes to the conditions was voted on and carried.
