REFUSED

Description of application – Change of use of part of existing outbuilding from car parking to purpose ancillary to the main residential use including elevational alterations (MINOR MATERIAL AMENDMENT TO APPEAL PERMISSION 09/00145/FULL2).

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.  Councillor Simon Fawthrop was concerned that Members had no influence on the Planning Inspectorate’s decision as to how appeals were dealt with and in his opinion this case, if subject to an appeal, would be suitable for the fast track procedure.

Members having considered the report and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED for the following reason:-

1.  The proposed development would result in the undesirable loss of covered parking within the curtilage of the dwelling and would be likely to lead to open parking, harmful to the openness and character of the Green Belt, contrary to Policy G1 of the Unitary Development Plan.
