Agenda item

Some Members had visited the site the previous day.

The Planning Officer presented the report and outlined the reasons for refusal.

This application was previously deferred by Members in June 2022 to allow for the Applicant and Officers to work together to find an improved design solution.  It was noted that this new application was the same scale and form as the previous applications and would have a significant visual impact on the host dwelling.

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

·         Rosie Ward – Applicant

·         Lynette Coyne – Agent

Members weighed up the pros and cons of developing the current building versus a new build for affordable housing in a small village. 

A motion to approve the application contrary to Officer recommendation was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.
