Agenda item

Full Application - Change of use of ancillary accommodation to a separate holiday let at Rock View Cottage, East Bank, Winster

Reason:Reason for site visit: To allow Members to assess the impact of the development on the character and appearance of the area and to assess to availability of car parking

Minutes:

Members had visited the site on the previous day.

 

Agenda items 8 and 9 were discussed together but were voted on separately.

 

The applicant, Mrs Sue Harrison, was present at the meeting.

 

The Officer confirmed that following the site visit a further discussion with the Highways Authority had taken place regarding the size of the garage and they had confirmed it was suitable for use of one car only but that one parking space is still sufficient to meet the parking standards.

 

Due to an administrative error the Parish Council had not been notified of the application but had submitted their comments by email the day before the meeting and requested the item be deferred.  The Officer read out the email from the Parish Council at the meeting and Members considered it was appropriate to proceed with consideration of the item.

 

 

The Officer recommendation for approval subject to changes to condition 3 to reduce it to 1 parking space and a re-wording of condition 4 to allow the use as an office only and for no other purposes whatsoever was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

 

The Officer recommendation for approval subject to changes to condition 3 to reduce it to 1 parking space, the removal of condition 4 and its replacement with a short-let holiday residential use condition and amendment to condition 5 to say that the disposal of household waste associated with the use shall be in accordance with submitted details was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.
