To consider the accompanying Schedule of Planning Applications and proposals, marked Appendix “A”. Decision:
Minutes: 7.1 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 Members prior to decisions being made on those applications. 16/01208/FUL – Cockbury Court Manor, Cockbury Court, Winchcombe 7.2 This application was for the erection of a greenhouse within vegetable garden and erection of a new boundary wall to enclose a proposed vegetable garden within garden boundary. 7.3 The Chair indicated that there were no public speakers for this item. The Officer recommendation was to permit the application and he sought a motion from the floor. It was proposed and seconded that the application be permitted in accordance with the Officer recommendation. A Member noted that the Conservation Officer had requested additional information relating to detailed layout and tree protection measures and he queried whether this had been resolved. The Planning Officer confirmed that additional plans had been submitted and the Conservation Officer was now happy with the proposal. Upon being put to the vote, it was RESOLVED That the application be PERMITTED in accordance with the Officer recommendation. 17/00184/FUL – 25 Godwin Road, Winchcombe 7.4 This application was for a proposed dwelling, parking, turning and landscaping. 7.5 The Planning Officer explained that, following the withdrawal of the 2016 application for a four bedroom dwelling on the site, a revised scheme had been submitted which reduced the building footprint from 125sqm to approximately 80sqm with a ridge height of approximately 5.5.m. Following discussions with Officers, the current scheme had been further revised to remove all windows from the western elevation of the proposed dwelling to prevent overlooking. It was noted that Condition 8 of the Officer recommendation would only ensure that no windows or rooflights, other than those expressly authorised by the planning permission, would be installed or constructed above ground floor ceiling height. The Officer recommendation had therefore been changed to a delegated permit in order to secure revised elevation plans to show the removal of the windows in the western elevation and to amend condition 8 to reflect that. 7.6 The Chair invited the applicant, Kevin Hancox, to address the Committee. Mr Hancox indicated that he had worked closely with Planning Officers throughout the whole application process. When it had been suggested that the original application for a four bedroom house would be unacceptable, he had withdrawn the application and submitted a new proposal for a smaller development. Whilst the size of the plot had been increased, the two storey element remained and, based on advice that this would result in unacceptable overlooking, he had changed it to a single storey bungalow – the scheme before Members today. The reduction in size would also increase the amenity left for future residents of no. 25 ... view the full minutes text for item 7a |
