[To consider the planning application]

The Committee considered a report regarding application 17/00387/FUL,

residential development consisting of 29 dwellings.

Tracey Homfray, Planning Officer, reported on updates to the report since it had been published. She stated that a badger report had been received reconfirming there were still no badgers in the sett and that more letters of objection had been received. She advised that Environmental Health had requested more acoustic fencing should the application be granted and informed the Committee of discrepancies on the plan.

Mrs Ann Rowlands addressed the Committee and spoke in opposition to the application.

Members of the Committee discussed existing traffic problems in Church Road and were concerned that Transportation had no objections to the application.

In response to this, Tim Philpot, Transportation Officer, welcomed any requests for further information and confirmed that after full analysis of the application, Transportation were satisfied with the proposals. He referred to paragraph 6.1 and gave further details of the conditions to be imposed should the application be granted.

Members of the Committee were not satisfied with the proposed parking facilities and suggested that a full review by Transportation should be carried out. It was proposed by Councillor Judith Rowley and seconded by Councillor Inston that the item should be deferred to allow the review to be undertaken.

An amendment was proposed by Councillor Bolshaw and seconded by Councillor Muston that the application be refused on the grounds of over-development and impact on adjacent properties.

Resolved:

That planning application 17/00387/FULbe refused on the grounds of impact on adjacent properties and overdevelopment.
