Agenda item

This item was brought forward on the agenda as the registered speaker had arrived.

The Head of Planning introduced the report and reminded Members that this application had been refused by the Planning Committee in April 2022, and following advice from Officers a revised application was submitted, but was considered that this application was not sufficiently different to that refused previously, and Staffordshire County Council had reported that the garage was not needed to meet the parking standards as there were no highway issues.

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

·         Dr M Jones, Applicant

Members accepted the need for a new garage but felt that the design was not appropriate, and that a simpler structure would be better so as not to detract from the main building. A motion to defer the application was proposed and seconded to allow for further discussions to take place between the Applicant and Officers.

The motion to defer the application was voted on and carried.

RESOLVED:

That the application be DEFERRED to allow for further discussions between the Applicant and Officers to take place.
