Agenda item

Cllr A Hart left the room due to his prejudicial interest in this item.

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

·         Ms S Harper, Applicant.

Officers stated that although they felt there was not enough agricultural justification for a dwelling they were willing to extend the temporary caravan permission to enable the applicants to try to build their business and increase the justification.

The recommendation for refusal was moved and seconded.

However, Members were concerned on the basis of the speaker’s participation that they may not have the most up to date agricultural information in the report. Therefore the motion for refusal was withdrawn and a motion for deferral to allow for further examination of viability was moved and seconded.  This was voted on and carried.

RESOLVED:

That the application be DEFERRED to allow for further examination of viability.

Cllr A Hart returned to the meeting.
