To consider the accompanying Schedule of Planning Applications and proposals, marked Appendix “A”. Decision:
Minutes: 62.1 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. 17/01078/FUL – Land off Broadway Road, Part Parcel 9070, Toddington 62.2 This application was for the erection of six dwellings with associated vehicular access. The Committee had visited the application site on Friday 9 February 2018. 62.3 The Planning Officer reiterated that this was a full application for the erection of six detached four and five bed dwellings with a new access road on agricultural land to the rear of existing dwellings on the B4077, located within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In terms of the history of the site, two dwellings had been granted permission on a site to the north-west after the original scheme was scaled down from 11 dwellings. The larger site for 11 dwellings included the current application site. She explained that 11 dwellings were considered to be unacceptable due to the impact on the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; whilst it was considered that two dwellings would cause some limited harm to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it was felt to be an appropriate design response to the site and a logical proportionate extension to the built environment of the village. She drew attention to Page No. 571, Paragraph 6.16 of the Officer report, which stated that the Council had not been able to demonstrate a five year housing land supply at the time the decision had been made. She clarified that there had been a five year housing land supply at the time but the Council had been in negotiation with the applicant for well over a year in the context of there being no five year supply. The decision to permit the scheme was taken on the basis that, despite being contrary to Policy HOU4, Toddington/Newtown had been identified as a Service Village in the emerging Joint Core Strategy and, therefore, a suitable location for some limited residential development. It was considered that the benefits of the application for two dwellings, and the location of the site adjacent to a Service Village, outweighed the conflict with the development plan in respect of Policy HOU4 and other identified harms, including harm to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’s landscape and scenic beauty. 62.4 The current scheme was for six dwellings immediately adjacent to the extant permission for two dwellings and, therefore, in combination, represented a very similar scheme to the one for 11 dwellings that was initially rejected by Officers on the grounds of harm to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Planning Officer pointed out that it was being considered in a different policy context with ... view the full minutes text for item 62a |
