Full Application - Erection of agricultural Building at Hurst Nook Cottage, Derbyshire Level (NP/HPK/0322/0394, AM)

Minutes:

The Planning Officer introduced the report and confirmed that the application had previously been deferred from the Committee on 10 June 2022 where Members had requested more information which had now been received and incorporated into the report.

 

A statement was read out under the public participation at meetings scheme by a member of the Democratic & Legal Support Team on behalf of:

 

·         Mr Gordon Handley – Applicant

 

Members welcomed the proposed modifications and landscaping but still expressed concerns regarding the access to the site and asked that the Parish Council objection be noted.

 

A motion to approve the application in accordance with the Officer recommendation was moved and seconded.

 

The Planning Officer emphasised that that the section of improved access beyond the gate providing access into the field was not part of this application being both outside the red edged application site area and outside the blue line indicating it was outside the applicants ownership control. It was therefore likely highway verge owned by Derbyshire County Council and therefore the matter of consent for those works would be followed up as a separate matter, most likely between the applicant and Derbyshire County Coucuil as Highway Authority. Members expressed concerns regarding the condition to remove the building if it was no longer required for agricultural use, the Planning Officer confirmed that to change the use of the building would require future planning permission and this would then highlight the condition being applied in this application.

 

A motion to approve the application in accordance with the Officer recommendation was voted on and carried.
