Case Officer Update:               None      

 

Speakers included:                   Supporter – Mrs Rachel French:  Ward Member – Cllr Holway

 

Recommendation:                  Refusal

           

Members had a difficult debate on this application. The case officer outlined the Policy reasons for Refusal of the proposal.  Some Members argued the sustainability of the site, and that the site bordered an allocated site where permission for 200 houses had already been given.  However, the infrastructure to support the allocated site was not in place until that site was constructed, and therefore the proposal was contrary to policies within the JLP and the Ugborough Neighbourhood Plan.

 

Committee Decision:     Refusal

 

 

e)     0620/18/FUL        Borough Farm, East Allington

Parish:  East Allington

 

Provision of an agricultural workers dwelling

 

Case Officer Update:               None

 

Speakers included:                   Supporter – Mrs Amanda Burden:  Ward Member – Cllr Foss

 

Recommendation:                  Refusal

           

During discussion, a number of Members disagreed with the view of the agricultural consultant and felt that the applicant had demonstrated an agricultural need for an additional dwelling based on the stock levels at the farm.  Members also felt it was important to support rural businesses where possible.  The Head of DM Practice asked that approval be conditional and that conditions be agreed in consultation with the Committee Chairman and local Ward Member.

 

Committee Decision:     Conditional Approval, with the Head of DM Practice being given delegated authority, in consultation with the Chairman of the Committee and the local Ward Member, to approve the final wording of the conditions.

 

 

Reasons:

Members had considered the evidence provided to them including stock levels and had considered the agricultural consultant’s report but had come to a different conclusion.
