Issue - meetings

Under the scheme of public participation, David Whitaker Ellel Parish Council representative spoke in support of the application.

Following the public speaking element of this application, Councillor Carla Brayshaw declared an interest in this item. The reasons are stated clearly in minute no 111 above.

It was proposed by Councillor Helen Helme and seconded by Councillor Robert Redfern:

“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 small rural development would not have a ribbon effect and the proposal would be sustainable given its proximity to local services on the A6.

Upon being put to the vote, 11 Members voted in favour of the proposition and 2 against, whereupon the Chairman declared the proposal to be carried.

Resolved:

That Planning Permission be granted subject to the following conditions:

1.    Standard outline planning permission timescale;

2.    Illustrative plans only (other than access);

3.    Approved access to be provided prior to other development commencing;

4.    Visibility splays to be provided and protected;

5.    Landscaping details, including hedgerow mitigation (for loss) and hedgerow translocation (for visibility splays);

6.    In accordance with approved Aboricultural Implications Assessment;

7.    Tree/hedgerow protection;

8.    Foul drainage scheme;

9.    Surface water drainage scheme and maintenance plan;

10.  Unforeseen contamination.
