The committee were informed by the Planning Officer with the aid of a presentation that, if granted, the application would take the number of new dwellings  to the limit for Bicknoller within the current local plan period. The site was within the settlement boundary of Bicknoller, was not considered to have a significant impact upon the visual or residential amenity of the area and was considered to comply with local plan policy. It was therefore recommended for conditional approval.

The agent spoke on the application confirming that the previous refusal reasons had been addressed, the design had been amended, there were no objections on highways or landscape officers and there was a need for the houses and were in a sustainable location.

One committee member expressed some concern that the proposal on a narrow road with a blind corner and that there had been flooding on the site. However, it was confirmed by the Planning Officer that the site was not in a flood zone and the highway Authority had no objection.

Councillor Pugsley proposed to move the recommendation for approval as detailed within the report and Councillor Ellis seconded the proposal.
