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.
