·         Mr & Mrs Everatt – Applicants – Statement read out by Democratic Services

 

Members were minded to approve the application contrary to Officer recommendation.  This accommodation would provide much needed disabled compliant accommodation within the Peak District National Park.  It was noted that the building is well hidden and already part of the landscape and no alterations are necessary for this to become holiday accommodation. The Officer outlined the conditions which would be imposed should the application be approved. The sole reason for refusal is that the application for this building does not comply with policy.  There was some discussion regarding the policy.

 

A motion to approve the application contrary to Officer recommendation and subject to the following conditions was proposed, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:

 

  1. Development to begin within 3 years from the date of this permission.
