Minutes:
48.1
The Development Manager submitted a Schedule comprising planning
applications and proposals with recommendations
thereon. Copies of this had been
circulated to Members as Appendix A to the Agenda for the
meeting. The objections to, support
for, and observations upon the various applications as referred to
in Appendix 1 attached to these Minutes were presented to the
Committee and duly taken into consideration by them prior to
decisions being made on those applications.
15/00339/FUL – Giles Piece House, Langley Road,
Winchcombe
48.2
This application was for the demolition of existing cattle shed and
erection of a detached dwelling, together with associated
landscaping and works. The Committee
had visited the application site on Friday 20 November 2015.
48.3
The Chairman invited Mark Le Grand, the architect and agent acting
on behalf of the applicant, to address the Committee. Mr Le Grand explained that the proposed site,
which measured just over two acres and was located adjacent to
Giles Piece House on the north side of Langley Road, was currently
occupied by a large derelict cattle shed and was accessed from
Langley Road via an existing five bar gate which had been
incorporated into the proposal. The
proposal comprised the demolition of the cattle shed; the
construction of a private dwelling; the formation of a permeable
driveway; and the planting of an orchard and a semi-mature Holm Oak
tree. During the design and application
process, himself and the applicant had worked closely with the
assigned Planning Officer and a highly regarded landscape and
arboricultural consultant, as well as
the surrounding landowners and local residents, in order to produce
a scheme which would not simply be deemed acceptable but one that
would be welcomed by the local residents; illustrate exemplary
design incorporating locally sources materials and renewable
technologies; and, most importantly, enhance the surrounding
environment, both aesthetically and in terms of the localised
biodiversity. In summary, the proposal
was to replace one built form for another on an almost like for
like footprint. The new dwelling would
be constructed using locally sourced natural stone and timber and,
in terms of scale and massing, would replicate the existing pattern
of residential property on the north side of Langley
Road. The use of natural materials and
proposed planting scheme would allow the dwelling to sit
harmoniously within its surrounding natural and built environment
and the proposed use of renewable technologies would enable the
future owners and occupiers to live almost entirely off the main
grid. The land surrounding the dwelling
would be maintained for grazing small livestock and horses and the
southern slopes of the site would be transformed into an apple,
pear and plum orchard which would increase and enhance the
biodiversity of the local environment exponentially. He asked that it be noted that the scheme had been
prepared in strict accordance with all of the assigned Planning
Officer’s recommendations and he had originally been informed
that the application would be recommended for approval. The scheme had also been prepared in strict
accordance with ... view the
