Following the Officer’s presentation of the report, Peter Briggs, the Agent, addressed the Committee.

 

Members debated this application and attention was drawn to the long planning history relating to this site.  There were some concerns raised that the site was not suitable to be used as an employment site due to its remote location and difficulties with access.  Other comments raised related to the impact on the neighbouring property and the buildings currently on-site which were considered to be of very little architectural merit.  Members were of the view that if this application was approved then the site would be improved.

 

In response to a question, the Interim Development Management and Enforcement Manager advised Members that Maldon District Council (MDC) must determine applications in accordance with material considerations.

 

Councillor M F L Durham, a Ward Member, proposed that this application be approved contrary to Officers’ recommendation and this proposal was duly seconded and upon a vote the motion was carried.  In response to this, the Development Control Officer outlined a number of suggested conditions to be attached to the approval, which were agreed.

 

RESOLVED that this application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:

1          The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

2          The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in complete accordance with the approved drawings specifically referenced on this decision notice

3          No development shall take place until written details and samples of all materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the development hereby permitted have been submitted to an approved in writing by the local planning authority.  The development shall be carried out using the materials and details as approved. 

4          No works or development shall take place until full details of both hard and soft landscape works have been submitted and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.  These details shall include the layout and materials of all hard surfaced areas.  Details of soft landscape works shall include planting plans, written specification (including cultivation and other operations associated with plant and grass establishment), schedules of plant noting species, plant size d and proposed numbers/densities, where appropriate and an implementation programme.

Following the Officer’s presentation of the report, Members debated this application.  The Interim Development Management and Enforcement Manager advised the Committee that whilst the Planning Department regularly supported schemes for stables throughout the District, this application was recommended for refusal on the basis of scale and bulk.  Some Members were of the opinion that provided the stables were conditioned to be used in association with the Old Rectory, they were satisfied with the application.

 

Councillor Mrs M Thompson proposed that the Officers’ recommendation of refusal be agreed.  Upon a vote being taken the motion was declared lost.  Councillor Miss S White then proposed approval of this application contrary to the Officers’ recommendation.  This was duly seconded and upon a vote the motion was carried.  In response to the approval, the Development Control Officer outlined a number of conditions to be applied which were agreed.  Members also agreed that approval of the application should be subject to its use being restricted to the Old Rectory, Church Street, Goldhanger.

 

RESOLVED that this application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:
