Issue - meetings

Under the scheme of public participation, Janette Ireland, Andrew Poulter, Peter Cheason (on behalf of Susan Aspinall), Graham Creer, Averil McClleland, Anthony Newton, Mary Breakell, Myles Griffiths, Peter Lea and Stephen Constantine all spoke against the application. Deborah Smith agent for the application spoke in support.

It was proposed by Councillor Helen Helme and seconded by Councillor Mel Guilding:

“That the application be approved.”

(The proposal was contrary to the case officer’s recommendation that the application be refused).

Members clarified the reason for the contrary proposal, being that, the need for the provision of the bungalows in the area outweighs the adverse landscape impacts associated with the scheme.

Upon being put to the vote, 11 Members voted in favour of the proposition and 3 against, whereupon the Chairman declared the proposal to be carried.

Resolved:
