Agenda item

Full Application - Conversion of barn to one open market dwellinghouse and one affordable dwellinghouse at Roche Grange Farm, Meerbrook

Minutes:

It was noted that Members had visited the site on the previous day.

 

The Planning Officer introduced the report and informed Members that although the proposal would conserve and enhance the building, there was however a concern that the introduction of 2 new houses, which would be totally separate from the wider farm, would not be compatible with agricultural activities at the site, and that the farming activities could lead to conflict between residential use and the agricultural use of the farm. 

 

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

 

Cllr Gill Heath, Supporter

Ms Valerie Hulme, Applicants Daughter

 

Members considered that there was a way forward, and that the application should be deferred to allow for more discussions with the applicant..

                                                                                               

A motion to defer the application to allow for further discussions with the applicant regarding details on parking, the layout and form of the frontage of the property, green measures, sub division of the parcel of land at the rear, replacement of the barn and a Section 106 agreement to secure the property as affordable housing was moved and seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

 

RESOLVED:

 

To DEFER the application to allow the Officers more discussion with the applicant regarding details on parking, the layout and form of the frontage of the property, green measures, sub division of the parcel of land at the rear, the replacement of the barn and a Section 106 agreement to secure the property as affordable housing.
