Issue - meetings

The Head of Planning and Environment Services clarified issues concerning the residential curtilage area of, and proposed access driveway to, the application site.

Consideration was given to this application which had been recommended for refusal by the Head of Planning and Environment Services.

On the matter being put to the vote, Members considered that permission should be granted because of the increased openness of the Green Belt, through the removal of the existing buildings and the resultant less intrusive development, which constituted very special circumstances to outweigh the harm that would be caused to the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within the Green Belt.

RESOLVED that permission be granted subject to appropriate conditions and notes which are considered necessary by the Head of Planning and Environment Services.
