Full Application - Erection of re-locatable timber framed garden room for additional learning space designed around the needs of a disabled pupil at Combs Infant School, Combs County School, Lesser Lane, Combs

Minutes:

Members had visited the site on the previous day.

 

A planning application for an extension to the main building had previously been approved but not yet implemented. If approved this application would be additional to the existing permission, however Members noted the school only wished to implement the current proposal

 

The following spoke under the Public Participation at Meetings Scheme:

 

·         Emma Hall – Parent – Supporter

·         Rosemary Cook – Head Teacher

·         Fiona Douglas-Mullett – Governor

·         Gemma Roe - Agent

 

Speakers confirmed that the previously approved extension was not affordable and the site owners did not wish to see that scheme developed.

 

Members felt the design and location would be satisfactory and were minded to approve the application contrary to officer recommendation with the addition of conditions.

 

The motion for approval contrary to Officer Recommendation and subject to conditions was moved and seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

That the application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:

 

1.    3 year time limit

 

2.    In accordance with submitted plans and with green roof
