Minutes:

Cllr Nick Colbert left the room during consideration of this item.

The Planning Officer presented the application on behalf of his colleague and with the aid of a power point presentation showed the site and plans of the proposed dwelling. Previous concerns on this site had now been addressed and the officer confirmed that the recommendation was to approve the application as detailed in full in the agenda.

The agent, Janet Montgomery addressed the committee and explained that this application was a much simpler form than the previous applications and was not overbearing nor did it overlook any other properties

Ward Member, Cllr William Wallace was content with the application now that the proposed dwelling would only be one and half storeys high and he proposed that the application be approved.

Ward Member Cllr Tim Inglefield reiterated the above comments although he was concerned about there not being enough space to turn a car, the only option was to reverse on to the highway however he seconded the proposal that the application be approved.

A short discussion ensued about the parking issue but in general members expressed their support for the application.

On being put to the vote, the motion was carried unanimously in favour to approve the application.

RESOLVED: That Planning Application 14/02094/FUL be approved as per the officers recommendation.
