In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mrs Churchill of Bromyard Town Council spoke against the application and Mr Boughton the applicant’s agent spoke in favour.

 

The Senior Planning Officer reported the receipt of amended plans with improved access arrangements.  The Area Engineer (Development Control) said that he was satisfied with the access and parking proposals.

 

Councillor PJ Dauncey, a local Ward Member, expressed reservations about the access arrangements in view of the number of dwellings proposed.  Access was via a junction onto a very busy road with the view to the east often restricted by parked HGV’s.  He was also concerned at the proposals to deal with surface water and foul drainage.  The Senior Planning Officer said that the Welsh Water Authority was satisfied with the arrangements.

 

A motion that the Sub-Committee was minded to refuse the application was lost.

The Senior Planning Officer said that two additional letters of support had been received.

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mr Narbett the agent acting on behalf of the applicant spoke in favour of the application.

 

Councillor KG Grumbley the Local Ward Member was in favour of the application, commenting that there was sufficient flexibility within the policies of the emerging Unitary Development Plan for the support of small-scale rural businesses and associated re-use of rural buildings.  He was disappointed that the Tourism Officer had supported a previous application for the site but was now against this one.

 

Councillor BF Ashton had concerns about the permanency of the scheme and felt that new buildings could be permitted if essential but that in this case the application constituted development in the open countryside.

 

On balance the Sub-Committee supported the application with appropriate conditions to limit the length of occupancy time for those using the proposed holiday accommodation.

The Senior Planning Officer said that three further letters of objection had had been received.  He also said that the Conservation Manager had no objections to the application.  He reminded the Sub-Committee that in response to an objection received from English Heritage, the applicant had withdrawn the boundary fence element from the application.  The application therefore sought retrospectiveplanning consent for a lower ground floor store and retrospective listed building consent for works carried out at Mill Cottage.  Arising on previous complaints by an objector regarding other work undertaken by the applicant, the Ombudsman had investigated but had not found there to be maladministration.

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mrs Thomas spoke against the application and Mr Hughes the applicant’s agent spoke in favour.

 

Councillor Mrs LO Barnett the Local Ward Member still had a number of reservations about the applications and felt that the building was not in a suitable location to provide care for youngsters from an urban environment.  She was also concerned at the extent of work undertaken without the owner first having obtained the necessary consents.  Councillor WLS Bowen felt that there had been a confusing number of applications and enquired why there appeared to have been a lack of enforcement regarding this important historic building on an exceptional site. The Senior Planning Officer said following negotiations with the applicant, the stage had been reached where the work carried out on the listed building was acceptable to English Heritage and to the Conservation Officer.  Planning permission and listed building consent would strengthen the control that could be exercised by the Council.

The receipt of two letters of objection was reported. It was also reported that the Conservation Officer had no objection to the application.

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Major Berry spoke against the application.

 

The Sub Committee debated the concerns raised by the objector regarding noise and effluent and Councillor BF Ashton asked if the application could be deferred pending resolution of these issues.  The question was also raised about whether retrospective consent should be granted at all. The Northern Team Leader said that there were a number of conditions in the recommendation which covered landscaping, noise and drainage and that it would strengthen the enforcement capacity of the officers if permission was granted as recommended.  The Sub Committee still had a number of concerns about these issues and said that it was important for them to be properly addressed within the conditions and subsequently enforced.  It was agreed that the Environmental health Officer should be notified about the objectors’ concerns.

It was reported that one of the objectors was on holiday and unable to attend and speak but that he had reiterated his objection.

 

Councillor KG Grumbley, the Local Ward Member had a number of concerns about the application and was not satisfied about the use of the building and adjoining land despite assurances from the applicant that it was for agricultural purposes.  He therefore did not feel that the operation satisfied the requirements for an agricultural building and the Sub-Committee concurred with this view.

 

 

RESOLVED:

 

RESOLVED:

 

That    (i)    The Northern Area Planning Sub-Committee is minded to refuse the application subject to the reasons for refusal set out below (and any further reasons for refusal felt to be necessary by the Development Control Manager) provided that the Development Control Manager does not refer the application to the Planning Committee:

 

1.      The local planning authority is not satisfied that a building of this size is reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture within this unit.  The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Policy A3 of the Hereford and Worcester County Stucture Plan and Policy A2(d) of the Leominster District Local Plan.

 

(ii)         If the Development Control Manager does not refer the application to the Planning Committee, Officers named in the Scheme of Delegation to Officers be instructed to approve the application subject to such conditions referred to above.

Councillor B Hunt, a Local Ward Councillor had considerable reservations about the proposals because of the way delivery vehicles were likely to gain access. He pointed out that the area at the rear of the building was very restricted for longer wheelbase delivery vehicles to turn around on site and enter New Road in a forward gear.  This in turn would be likely to result in those vehicles being unloaded direct from the carriageway of Old Road which could generate traffic problems.  The Senior Planning Officer said that the applicant would be gaining access from the north but that she would put an informative note on the Decision Notice to draw his attention to the potential problems.
