Agenda item

Members had visited the site on the previous day.

 

The Planning Officer reported an amendment to Condition 15 of the report to state “marquee should be fully dismantled and removed from the site within three days of the event” not four.

 

The Planning Officer stated that the original application which was granted in January 2016 for a trial period of 3 years, expiring at the end of January 2019. The application was to hold wedding events/functions for up to 8 per year, but  since the approval was given and due to the restrictions imposed to control the use, only 4 events have actually taken place.

 

The Officer also reported that since the report was written, a further letter of representation had been received from the residents of Cow Close Farm, and this was summarised for Committee.

 

The following spoke under the Public Participation at Meetings Scheme:-

 

·         Mr Eric Marsh, Supporter

·         Mr Derek Latham, on behalf of the applicant

 

A motion for approval subject to conditions as set out in the report was moved and seconded.

 

The Planning Officer reported that  the applicant  had agreed to a further trial period of 5 years, but  Members felt that  by extending this to 7 years was more realistic and reasonable for monitoring purposes, to assess the impact on  the amenity and business certainty.

 

Concern was raised by Members over the lack of disabled car parking spaces available. The Planning Officer confirmed  that although this had been covered in Condition 18 of the original application, he would go back to the Applicant to confirm  the arrangements.

 

A motion for approval for an amendment to the motion for 7 years was moved and seconded.  This was then voted on and carried and became the substantive motion.

 

The following amendments to conditions were agreed:-

 

4 – include ‘and/or functions’ after wedding

10 – include time limit of 10.30pm

22 – include “release of balloons”

 

Footnote regarding disabled parking.

 

The recommendation to approve the application with the stated amendments to the conditions set out in the report was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.
