RESOLVED:   That the Minutes of the meetings held on 12 and 19 May 2004 be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chairman subject to the following: -

                        12 May 2004:-

Ref 1 (Brierley Court Farm, Brierley, Leominster DCNC2004/0321/F) - Councillor Mrs JP French also referred to the development of 300 units of accommodation at Barons Cross, Leominster in the Development Plan and draft Unitary Development Plan which had received a considerable amount of consultation whereas this proposal had not. She likened the proposals to the imposition of a university campus on a rural agricultural area and felt that planning law had not kept pace with agricultural changes.

                        The following amendments were made to the minutes of 19 May 2004:-

Ref 9 (Junction of Pump Street and Little Hereford Street, Bromyard DCNC2004/0101/F) – Replace the words “limited parking” with “lack of any parking” and.

Application Ref 4 (Stretton Grange Retirement Home, Stretton Grandison DCME2003/3706/F) – Councillor Mrs LO Barnett requested that reference to material considerations be made.

To note the contents of the attached report of the Head of Planning Services in respect of appeals for the northern area of Herefordshire.

The report of the Head of Planning Services was received and noted.

To consider and take any appropriate action in respect of the planning applications received for the Northern area of Herefordshire, and to authorise the Head of Planning Services to impose any additional and varied conditions and reasons considered to be necessary.

Plans relating to planning applications on this agenda will be available for inspection in the Council Chamber 30 minutes before the start of the meeting.

Agenda items 7, 8 & 9 are applications deferred for site inspections at the last meeting and items 10 – 27 are new applications.

The Sub-Committee considered the following planning applications received for the northern area of Herefordshire and authorised the Head of Planning Services to impose any additional or varied conditions and reasons considered to be necessary.

The receipt of five letters of support and one letter of objection was reported.

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking Mr Eley spoke against the application on behalf of Leominster Town Council and Humberford and Stoke Prior Parish Council and Mr Helme spoke in favour of the application. 

The Sub-Committee discussed the main elements of the application and the problems that had arisen in the past due to odour arising from the composting process at the site.  The steps that had been taken by the applicant to deal with the problems and advice given by the officers in that respect were also noted.  The Sub Committee was also mindful of the need to encourage diversification to help local agriculture and the importance of innovative waste management schemes.

Councillor KG Grumbley suggested that consideration of the application should be deferred until the composting process was perfected and odour problems had been resolved.  The Principal Planning Officer (Minerals and Waste) advised that the Council had limited grounds of enforcement if consideration was deferred and that a Waste Management Licence could not be issued by the Environment Agency until planning permission had been granted. 

Having further debated the application, the Sub-Committee considered whether permission should be granted for a temporary period and agreed that as the operation had been in place for nearly eighteen months already, a 12 month permission should be granted.  The Minerals and Waste Officer asked for and was given authority to amend the conditions as he thought necessary.

RESOLVED:            That planning permission be granted for a 12 month period from the date of this meeting, subject to the following conditions to be amended as thought necessary and any further conditions considered necessary by Officers named in the scheme of Delegation to Officers:

         Reason:  In the interests of protecting the long term setting of Wharton Court and the two adjoining listed barns, of protecting the long term amenity of local people and visitors of the area, and because any longer use may have adverse environmental effects which would require further consideration.

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking Mrs Cole spoke against the application and Mr Palliser the applicant spoke in favour.

The Chairman referred to the planning policies that he considered were appropriate to the application and which supported the applicant’s case as an agricultural worker.  The Sub-Committee discussed whether the applicant could convert the existing barn into a dwelling or whether it would be more advantageous for him to be able to construct a new dwelling.  The Sub-Committee felt that on balance it was more desirable for the applicant to construct a new dwelling on site but that the overall size of the proposed dwelling was too large for the site and to meet the requirements of planning policies relating to agricultural dwellings.  It was agreed that this issue should be discussed further with the applicant.

RESOLVED:   That consideration of the application be deferred pending negotiations with the applicant to ascertain if a smaller dwelling could be agreed than that proposed in the planning application.

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking Mr Williams spoke against the application.  The Sub-Committee had some concerns about the proposed extension because of the impact it would have on the neighbouring property through loss of light. It considered that permission could be granted if the officers could negotiate a smaller extension or one allowing the passage of more light through.
