Mrs. Howarth had registered to speak against the application but was not present at the meeting.

 

Councillor D.B. Wilcox, a Local Ward Member, noted the concerns of local residents about the access strip to the west of the application site.  The Senior Planning Officer confirmed that a condition would remove Permitted Development Rights and restrict vehicular access on this area.

 

In response to a question, the Senior Planning Officer advised that the low density of development was considered appropriate in this instance having regard to the Conservation Area and Tupsley Ridge designations and the specific circumstances of the site.  The Senior Planning Officer also advised that, as they were sited in a Conservation Area, the trees on the site had some measure of protection, nevertheless recommended condition 13 would address this concern.
