RESOLVED:  That

(1)          In respect of Application (A) TM/17/03471/FL planning permission be GRANTED in accordance with the submitted details, conditions, reasons and informatives set out in the report and supplementary report of the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health, subject to

(i)        The amendment of the plans cited as follows

·      Site Plan 003 P1 replaced by 003 P2;

·      Part Site Plan 004 to be referenced.

(ii)       The amendment of Condition 2 to read:

2. The residential use of the barn or Oast shall not be commenced before a scheme of hard and soft landscaping and boundary treatment has been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority.  The scheme shall include a plan which denotes the extent (length and width) of the public right of way across the application site, any measures proposed to differentiate this from the remainder of the site whilst ensuring it remains available for use at all times.  All planting, seeding and turfing comprised in the approved scheme of landscaping shall be implemented during the first planting season following occupation of the buildings or the completion of the development, whichever is the earlier.  Any trees or shrubs removed, dying, being seriously damaged or diseased within 10 years of planting shall be replaced in the next planting season with trees or shrubs of similar size and species, unless the Authority gives written consent to any variation.  Any boundary fences or walls or similar structures as may be approved shall be erected before first occupation of the building to which they relate.

Reason:  In the interests of visual and rural amenity.

(iii)      The addition of the following Conditions:

6.  No external lighting shall be installed on the dwellings hereby approved or within the associated residential curtilages or parking areas as laid out on drawing number 003 P2 received on 7.11.2018

Reason:  In the interests of rural amenity.

7.  The residential use of the barn or Oast shall not be commenced until the area shown on drawing number 004 P1 received on 7.11.2018 as vehicle parking space has been provided, surfaced and drained.  Thereafter it shall be kept available for such use and no permanent development, whether or not permitted by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any order amending, revoking or re-enacting that Order) shall be carried out on the land so shown or in such a position as to preclude vehicular access to this reserved parking space.

Reason:  Development without provision of adequate accommodation for the parking of vehicles is likely to lead to hazardous on-street parking and in the interests of rural amenity.

8. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any order amending, revoking or re-enacting that Order) no development shall be carried out within Classes A-F (inclusive), of Part 1; of Schedule 2 of that Order unless planning permission has been granted on an application relating thereto.

Reason:  In the interests of rural amenity.

9.  The outbuildings identified on plan number 004 P1 received on 7.11.2018 shall be used only for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the related dwellinghouse and no trade or business shall be carried out therefrom.

Reason: To safeguard the amenities and interests of the occupants of other properties and in the interests of rural amenity.

(iv)      The amendment of Informative 1 to read:

1.            In seeking to meet the requirements of Condition 2, the applicant is reminded that no gates should be installed on a Restricted Byway and no vehicles should be parked in a way to obstruct legitimate users of the byway.  The submitted landscaping scheme should therefore have full regard to this requirement to avoid any future conflicts arising. 

(2)          In respect of Application (B) TM/17/03472/LB Listed Building consent be GRANTED in accordance with the submitted details, conditions, reasons and informatives set out in the report of the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health.
