Following the Officer’s presentation, the Chairman advised that she agreed for a statement from an Objector, Mr Matthew Byatt to be read out. Following this the Agent, Ms Annabel Brown addressed the Committee.
In response to a debate and comments raised, the Lead Specialist Place provided information on a number of points including the lack of a Five Year Housing Land Supply (5YHLS), marketing, use of the adjoining site, the proposed scale of the dwelling etc. He advised that conditions could be imposed to address concerns around trees and ground contamination.
The Chairman moved the Officer’s recommendation that the application be approved with the additional two conditions as advised by the Lead Specialist Place. This was duly seconded but upon a vote being taken was declared lost.
The Chairman proposed that the application be refused, contrary to the Officer’s’ recommendation. Following a discussion regarding reasons for refusal it was agreed that the reason for refusal should relate to a lack of evidence with the precise wording delegated to Officers in consultation with the Chairman and Ward Members. This was duly seconded and upon a vote being taken was agreed.
At a later point in the meeting the Lead Specialist Place advised that a separate decision in relation to the Listed Building application for this site was required. The Chairman proposed that the Listed Building application (20/00956/LBC) be refused for the reason that there was not optimum viable use of the building. This proposal was duly seconded and upon a vote being taken was agreed.
