To consider the accompanying Schedule of Planning Applications and proposals, marked Appendix “A”. Decision:
Minutes: 14.1 The Technical Planning 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. 18/00420/FUL – 16 Greenways, Winchcombe 14.2 This application was for a change of use from amenity land to private residential garden (revised application following refusal of application ref: 17/01130/FUL to erect one metre high timber fencing around part of residential garden area only and planting of hedgerow). 14.3 A Member questioned whether the land was within private ownership and confirmation was provided that this was the case. The Planning Officer explained that a previous application in 2011 for the erection of a single dwelling on land adjacent to No. 18 Greenways had included this area of land within the residential area of No. 16. In response to a query as to what was meant by public amenity land as referenced in the Officer report, the Technical Planning Manager recognised this was confusing terminology and clarified that there was no definition but it could be considered to be, for example, a grass verge or something similar which had performed that function within the streetscene. The planning history of the site showed that it had lawful residential use and, whilst it was included in the description of development, it was not considered to be a change of use so planning permission was not required for that element of the proposal. 14.4 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 and, upon being put to the vote, it was RESOLVED That the application be PERMITTED in accordance with the Officer recommendation. 17/00514/OUT – Bell House Farm, Old Road, Maisemore 14.5 This was an outline application for residential development of 60 units with all matters reserved for future consideration. The Committee had visited the application site on Friday 29 June 2018. 14.6 The Chair indicated that there were no public speakers for this item. The Officer recommendation was to refuse the application and he sought a motion from the floor. It was proposed and seconded that the application be refused in accordance with the Officer recommendation. Upon being taken to the vote, it was RESOLVED That the application be REFUSED in accordance with the Officer recommendation. 17/01371/FUL – Shurdington Nurseries, Little Shurdington 14.7 This application was for the erection of three summerhouses for display purposes. The Committee had visited the application site on Friday 29 June 2018. 14.8 The Chair invited the applicant to address the Committee.
