In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Ms E. Newman spoke on behalf of Kington Town Council, and Mr Burton, the applicant, spoke in support of the application. 

 

The Local Ward Member, Councillor TM James, said that he was opposed to the principle of the development, because it was in his view “backland” development.  He acknowledged, however, that there were no planning grounds on which to refuse the application.  He added that it was crucial to maintain the historic walls of Kington, and asked that Condition 15 in the report, which would ensure reinstatement of the historic boundary wall on the application site, be enhanced so that the wall would be completely reinstated prior to first occupation of the dwelling.
