Agenda item

Full Application - Proposed extensions and conversion of attached barn to form additional living accommodation at 1 Tearsall View, the square, Wensley (NP/DDD/0624/0656, GG)

Minutes:

This item was brought forward on the agenda  due to the speakers having arrived.

 

Some Members had visited the site the previous day.

 

A motion to continue the meeting  past 1pm, was moved, seconded, voted on and carried.

 

The Planning Officer informed Members of an update to the Officer recommendation in that following a response from the Authority’s Ecologist that the barn did have bat roost potential, a preliminary bat survey had not been submitted as yet.   The Officer then presented the report and outlined the reasons for refusal as detailed in the report.

 

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

·         Stephanie Roberts, Applicant

·         Clare Lang, Agent

 

Members were minded to approve the application as it would make good use of the barn, and it was not readily visible from public places, however there was some concern over the materials and details to be used as they were out of keeping with the conservation area. 

 

A recommendation to defer the application and grant the Head of Planning, Development and Enforcement manager or Area Team Manager delegated powers to approve the application subject to design amendments and submission of a protected species survey which demonstrated that the development would not harm protected species was proposed and seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be DEFERRED and to grant the Head of Planning, Development and Enforcement manager or Area Team Manager delegated powers to approve the application subject to design amendments and submission of a protected species survey which demonstrated that the development would not harm protected species.
