Reason for Referral to the Committee / Council

Member Call In – Councillor R P F Dewick

Public interest

Scale and bulk

 

Following the Officer’s presentation, the Applicant, Tracey Silcock, addressed the Committee.

 

Councillor Dewick opened the discussion by clarifying why he had called in the application. He said he did not fully understand the recommendation to refuse as there was no adverse impact on the public view, live planning permission was already in place to the rear of the site for approximately 20 houses, it did not constitute development into the open countryside and Essex Highways had no objections. Furthermore, he had no concerns regarding the design, scale and bulk of the application.

 

In light of this he proposed that the application be approved contrary to the Officer’s recommendation. This was duly seconded.

 

Councillor Fluker said that given there were no objections from neighbours, the Parish Council supported the application and it accorded with policies D1, D3 and H4 of the Local Development Plan, he was happy to support it.

 

The Chairman put the proposal to approve the application subject to reasonable conditions around outstanding conservation issues and finishing materials being delegated to Officers. Upon a vote being taken the application was approved.

 

RESOLVED that the application be APPROVED with conditions delegated to Officers:
