Agenda item

The Chair moved to Item 16 as there were speakers present to speak on the item and there were no speakers for items 14 or 15.

Cllr D Chapman declared an interest as a Derbyshire Dales District Councillor and left the room.

The officer reported that the National Park Authority had objected to the original outline application when consulted in April 2017, saying that it would be acceptable only if the greenfield areas were omitted from the scheme.

The amended plans still included a hectare of greenfield land with 20 houses, although the landscape impact had been reduced. Historic England had originally objected to the scheme but were happy with the amendments.

The following made representations to the committee:

·         Cllr Mrs K Potter, local resident and member of CPRE

·         Mr J Wallbank, Objector on behalf of South Darley Parish Council

·         Mr D Roberts, Objector

Cllr Mrs K Potter left the room immediately after making her representation and did not take part in the debate or voting.

Members objected to the scheme as submitted and urged that if Derbyshire Dales District Council was minded to approve it, the Council should do so only if exceptional circumstances could be proven to ensure the viability of the scheme. Members also asked that the Authority should have ongoing involvement in detailed design matters, including, scale, density, layout and materials.

The motion to object to the application as amended was moved, seconded, voted upon and carried.

RESOLVED:

That the Authority objects to the application ref. no. 16/00923/OUT as amended and requests that the Authority be consulted on detailed design matters should the application be approved by Derbyshire Dales District Council.
