Agenda item

Full Planning Application - Proposed conversion and extension of historic barn for ancillary domestic use at Wheat Hay Farm, Shatton Lane, Shatton (NP/HPK/0924/1004, WE)

Minutes:

Some Members had visited the site the previous day.

 

The Planning Officer presented the report and outlined the reasons for refusal as set out in the report. The principal concern is the impact of the extension on the historic character of the barn and the farmstead as a whole.

 

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

·         Jane Newman – Agent

 

The Applicant is willing to discuss amendments to the scheme and the glazed link, the fenestration and the detailing on the rear of the extension.  It was felt that the glazed link is too prominent and too much of a contrast.  The canopy and the zinc roof was also discussed as this projects from the building and above the eaves at the rear of the extension.  Members agreed that with a revised treatment of the rear opening and the glazed link this proposal would be an improvement on the existing building.

 

A motion to defer the application to allow for further discussions to take place between the Applicant and the Planning Officer was proposed, seconded, voted on and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be DEFERRED to allow for further discussions to take place between the Applicant and the Planning Officer.  If an agreement cannot be reached then the application should be referred back to the Planning Committee.
