To consider the accompanying Schedule of Planning Applications and proposals, marked Appendix “A”. Decision:
Minutes: 6.1 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. 18/01272/FUL – Lower Langley Farm, Langley Road, Winchcombe 6.2 This application was for change of use of land from agricultural to residential for the siting of a static home to provide carer’s accommodation in association with Lower Langley Farmhouse and associated garden area and provision of fencing (retrospective application). The Committee had visited the application site on Friday 14 June 2019. 6.3 The Planning Officer advised that the application related to a parcel of land on the southern side of Langley Road, Winchcombe which was located within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and had been called-in to Committee by a Member in order to assess the impact on the landscape and possible special circumstances. The static home was located some 11 metres to the east of agricultural buildings associated with Langley Farm and some 93 metres to the east of Lower Langley Farmhouse. The site photographs showed the static home and the fencing surrounding its residential garden area in the context of the existing adjacent agricultural building. The static home accommodated the applicant and their partner who provided care and support for a family member living at Lower Langley Farmhouse; whilst these personal circumstances had been put forward in support of the application, they did not constitute public benefits that could be taken into consideration in the overall balancing exercise in weighing the benefits of the development against the disadvantages. As set out within the Officer report, as a result of the location of the static home – well distanced from the existing dwelling at Lower Langley Farmhouse and its associated garden area, and the rooms which the static homes comprised – this was not considered to be ancillary to the existing dwelling and was therefore considered as a new independent residential dwelling. Given the Council’s current position regarding its five year housing land supply, and the fact that the Council’s policies for the supply of housing were currently considered to be out of date, the presumption should be that planning permission be granted unless there were adverse impacts of doing so which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies of the National Planning Policy Framework as a whole, or where the application of policies in the National Planning Policy Framework that protected areas of assets of particular importance provided a clear reason for refusing the development proposed - the National Planning Policy Framework identified Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty as areas of particular importance. Whilst the Council could not currently demonstrate a five year supply of deliverable housing ... view the full minutes text for item 6a |
