Minutes:
At the invitation of the Chairman Lady Sarah Gauntlett-Shay addressed the Committee on behalf of the Applicant.
Consideration was then given to the application, which had been recommended for refusal by the Head of Planning and Regeneration Services. However, on the matter being put to the vote, Members considered that:
“the Village Envelope setting of the building”
constituted very special circumstances to outweigh the harm that would be caused to the openness of the Green Belt.
RESOLVED that Planning Permission be granted for the reasons set out above, subject to any reasonable conditions and notes considered necessary by the Head of Planning and Regeneration Services.
