Agenda item

Cllr David Chapman declared a personal and prejudicial interest as he was friends with the applicant and left the room during this item.

Members had visited the site on the previous day.

The Planning Officer introduced the item and confirmed that Condition 9 would be changed to specify a dry stone wall rather than the post and wire fence in the report, Condition 14 would be amended to allow for the submission and approval of the joinery details of all new doors and windows and two additional conditions would be necessary to ensure archaeology recording at level 2 and for the submission and subsequent approval of the details of the roof lights.

The following spoke under the Public Participation at Meeting Scheme:

Members noted that the previous planning approval for the development of a holiday let included the following words in the reason for Condition 8 of that approval ‘unsuitable for full residential use’ and sought clarification regarding this condition as the current application was seeking approval for residential use.  The Planning Officer confirmed that the wording in the previous reason was a standard holiday let reason  and had not been necessary for that application.

The Planning Officer confirmed that there had been a policy change since the original approval for holiday accommodation had been granted on this property which enabled the change to an open market dwelling.  Members requested information regarding the number of holiday let permissions implemented and the Planning Officer confirmed that this information would be provided outside the meeting.

The Officer recommendation to approve the application with the amended and additional conditions was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.
