Proposed site for the erection of a 12,000 bird free range organic egg laying unit.

 

Ward: Hampton Court

The Principal Planning Officer presented the following updates:

 

Additional comments have been received from the Council’s Public Rights of Way Officer reinforcing the concerns relating to the proximity of the building to the public bridleway.  A request is made that the building and ancillary structures should be a minimum of 10 metres from the centre line of the bridleway.

 

Officer’s Comment

 

There is scope for the position of the building to be amended in order that it is further away from the bridleway.  It is considered that it could be moved by 5 metres and this would leave its rear elevation in the region of 10 metres from the bridleway as requested.  Any further would begin to compromise the landscape impact of the building as the benefit that the contours of the land offer would be lost to a degree.

 

Conclusion

 

That a condition is added relating to the slab level of the building (F48)

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mr Miles spoke against the application.
