132629/F Land at rear of Standale, Staunton-on-Wye, Herefordshire, HR4 7LT

Proposed new dwelling with attached garage.

Decision:

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

Minutes:

The Senior Planning Officer gave a presentation on the application.

In accordance with paragraph 4.8.2.2 of the Council’s Constitution, Councillor JW Hope MBE, the local ward member, spoke in support of the application, highlighting the officer’s appraisal of the scheme set out at paragraphs 6.2-6.4 of the report and the presumption in favour of development.

Some regret was expressed at the possible demolition of a chimney on Standale to widen access and the detrimental effect this would have on the character of the village, noting also the traffic calming effect of the narrower access.  Having been advised that no condition could be imposed to require the chimney’s preservation it was proposed that a note should be added to the decision notice requesting that the chimney should be retained.

1.

A01 Time limit for commencement (full permission)
