S.73 application for the variation of condition 2 on NP/HPK/0299/021 at Ladycroft Barn, Thornhill, Bamford

Minutes:

Under the public participation at meetings scheme a statement was read out on behalf of Mrs Wendy Vickers, the applicant.

 

Members’ views were that a S.106 agreement would be a way forward for this application, however the applicant had made it clear to officers that they did not wish to enter into a legal agreement.

 

The recommendation for refusal was moved and seconded.  This was put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

The proposals would not comply with Development Management policy DMR3 (ii) because the applicant wishes to occupy the dwelling but is not in housing need as specified in Development Management policies DMH1 and DMH2. Consequently the dwelling unit cannot be tied by legal agreement to occupancy by those in housing need.
