The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:-

 

·         Nigel Chapman, Objector

·         Kathleen Pheasey, Objector

·         Tracey Sharkey, Rowland Parish Meeting

·         Cllr Clare Gamble, Objector

 

Members were concerned about the cumulative impact of the proposal on the hamlet of Rowland.  The accepted that the Highway Authority does not have safety concerns, but asked officers to consider the amenity impact of the increase use of the highway further.

 

Members also wanted to consideration of whether an alternative or improved access arrangement could be provided.

 

Members wanted greater clarity about the impact of the whole site and in particular whether the farmhouse would be let out for holiday use and whether the barn conversion would be holiday lets or B&B type letting rooms before they could properly consider the application.  They felt that this application should be considered in conjunction with a further application for the use of the stables a ancillary domestic accommodation for the main house, which was due to be heard at Committee in August.

 

A motion to defer the application was moved and seconded.  This was put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

To DEFER the application to allow further information to be sought about:

 

·         The full extent of the holiday use proposed on the site.

·         The feasibility of an alternative or improved access being provided.

·         Consideration of the amenity impact of the increased use of the highway.

 

And for this proposal to be considered in conjunction with a further application for ancillary domestic use in the stables on the site.
