Decision details

At the invitation of the Chairman, Mr. S. Danks, the applicant's agent, addressed the Committee and spoke in favour of the application.

Consideration was given to the application which had been recommended for refusal by the Head of Planning and Environment Services.  However, as an amendment to the recommendation outlined in the report it was proposed to grant planning permission because Members considered that the proposal was not disproportionate and therefore represented appropriate development in its setting that would not cause harm to the openness or visual amenities of the Green Belt in this location.

RESOLVED that permission be granted subject to any reasonable conditions and notes as considered necessary by the Head of Planning and Environment Services.

(NOTE: Under paragraph 16.7 of the Council’s Procedure Rules, Councillor S. R. Peters requested that it be recorded that he had abstained from voting on this matter.)
