The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

·         Andrew Dukesell – Agent

 

It was noted that this building has already been converted and is currently being used as a holiday let.  The application is for an “open-market dwelling” with a single storey bedroom extension and Members discussed the reasoning behind this and questioned why an affordable local needs housing project was not being considered.

 

A motion to refuse the application was proposed, seconded, voted on and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:-

 

1.      The proposed market dwelling is not required to achieve the conservation or enhancement of a valued vernacular or listed building and therefore is contrary in principle to Core Strategy policies DS1 and HC1.

 

2.      The proposed extension would harm the character and appearance of the existing building and the local area contrary to Core Strategy policies GSP2, GSP3, L1 and L3, Development Management Policies DMC3, DMC5 and DMC10 and the Authority’s adopted design guidance and conversions supplementary planning documents.
