Demolition of existing agricultural buildings and erection of 9 dwellings with access, parking, the raising of site levels and construction of retaining wall.

A site visit was held in respect of this application on Monday 12th June 2023 by Councillors Louise Belcher, Martin Bottoms, Dave Brookes, Claire Cozler, Roger Dennison, Alan Greenwell, John Hanson, Paul Newton, Robert Redfern, Sandra Thornberry and Sue Tyldesley. In attendance were Planning Applications Manager Mark Jackson and Principal Planning Officer Jennifer Rehman.

It was proposed by Councillor Sandra Thornberry and seconded by Councillor John Hanson, contrary to the officer’s recommendation in the report:

“That the application be approved on the grounds that the flooding risk was to be addressed; the site was located in a village; an earlier application had been granted (since lapsed); and there was potential for development in the area; subject to conditions as specified by officers.”

Upon being put to the vote, 7 Councillors voted in favour of the proposal with 6 against and no abstentions, whereupon the Chair declared the proposal to have been carried.
