Erection of one dwelling.

Erection of one dwelling.

 

The Principal Planning Officer reported the following:

 

• Environment Agency note that part of the site is located within flood zone 3.  However the proposed dwelling and sewage treatment plant is located outside of this high risk area.  It is also noted that there is a buffer strip of 7 metres from top of bank of watercourse.  There should be no increase in ground levels above existing in the 1% floodplain to prevent flood risk to the proposed dwelling and land elsewhere.  On the basis of the above we would raise no objection to the proposed dwelling subject to imposition of conditions.
• One letter has been received from the owner of the application site in support of the application.
• Weston under Penyard Parish Council objects to the proposed modification to the design, i.e. additional windows in roof.  Original plan should be maintained.

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking Mr. Smith, the applicant’s agent, spoke in support of the application.
