Agenda item

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

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

The recommendation for approval subject to conditions was moved and seconded.

In response to Members’ queries the Planning Officer stated that the bat survey had now been carried out, the detached garage would be tied to the barn conversion rather than the main house and the two new houses would have shared access from the main road.  He also stated that the roof space in the garage would be ancillary accommodation and an extra condition could be added to tie the garage to the barn conversion.  It was agreed to amend condition 5 by omitting satellite dishes.  It was also agreed to expand condition 25 to include submission of a detailed scheme for the protection of trees on site.

The motion for approval subject to conditions with the agreed amendments and extra condition was voted on and carried.
