Additional documents:

Decision:

The application was approved in accordance with the Case Officer’s recommendation.

Minutes:

The principal planning officer gave a presentation on the application and the updates/representations received following the publication of the agenda as provided in the update sheets and appended to these minutes.

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking a statement was read out on behalf of Mr Bowen-Jones, Pyons Group Parish Council, Mr Garvey, local resident, spoke in objection to the application and Mr Spreckley, the applicant’s agent, spoke in support of the application.

 

In accordance with the council's constitution the local Ward member spoke on the application. A statement from the local members was read to the committee.  In summary he explained that the application site fell outside of the proposed neighbourhood development plan agreed settlement boundary. He explained that the five year land supply was currently sufficient and the Pyons Group Parish Council had exceeded its new homes target. The proposed site was productive agricultural land and on green belt land. There was concern that the approval of the application could lead to more substantial development in the area. Drainage from the site was raised as a concern and the impact on the River Lugg and its tributaries. The lane in front of the application site was too narrow and inadequate for access; the application would result in additional noise, traffic and pollution. The sustainability of the location of the application was questioned in a village without a regular bus service and no walking or cycling facilities. It was noted that new homes had been built in the locality which had then stood vacant.

 

The committee discussed the application.

 

A motion that the application be approved, consistent with the case officer’s recommendation, was moved and was carried by a simple majority.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions and any other further conditions considered necessary by officers named in the scheme of delegation to officers:

 

1.

C01 – Time limits for implementation

           

2.

C06 – Development in accordance with approved plans

 

 

Pre-commencement Conditions

 

3.

Prior to the commencement of development, a detailed plan showing the levels of the existing site, the proposed slab levels of the approved dwellings and a fixed datum point outside of the site shall be submitted to and be approved in writing by the local planning authority.  Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

 

Reason: In the absence of sufficient detailed information, the clarification of slab levels is a necessary initial requirement before any groundworks are undertaken so as to define the permission and ensure that the development is of a scale and height appropriate to comply with Policy SD1 of the Herefordshire Local Plan – Core Strategy, policies PG7 and PG9 of the Pyons Group Neighbourhood Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework

 

 

Conditions Requiring Discharge

With the exception of site clearance and groundworks, no development shall take place until details pertaining to the following matters have been submitted to and approved in writing  ...  view the full minutes text for item 65
