Planning Applications PDF 296 KB To consider the reports by the Director for the Economy, attached as Item 5. Minutes: 1
The application was deferred from the last meeting to allow the applicant the opportunity to address the Committee.
The Planning Services Manager advised the report was identical to the one considered at the previous Committee meeting in December. However, the Officer outlined the application again, showing various plans and photographs, for the benefit of the two new Committee Members, Councillors David Balfe and Joss Loader.
The Officer’s recommendation was for approval.
Two Members raised queries with the Officer on the presentation. One question was in relation to the length of time the marquee had been in use before it had blown down. The Officer advised the marquee had been in place for 12 years. The other query was in relation to fire exits, to which the Officer responded that the matter would be covered by building regulations which the applicant would have applied for separately.
There were further representations from:
Objectors: Tony Hazell Anthony Debono
Ward Cllr: Councillor George Barton
Supporter: David Wilbor
Despite favourable consultee responses, the Members were concerned the proposal would have a detrimental effect on the Conservation Area, Local Green Gap and nearby residential properties and therefore unanimously agreed to refuse the application.
Decision
The Officer’s recommendation to grant permission was overturned.
The planning application was REFUSED on the grounds that the building would have an adverse impact upon the Conservation Area, Local Green Gap and nearby residential properties.
