Minutes:

Construct one single storey dwelling, following demolition of existing equestrian structures

Site of Former Stables and Land North West of 22 Westby Lane, Babbington Village

 

The application was brought to the Committee at request of former Councillor M J Crow.  The request was made prior to the 4 May 2023 Elections.

 

The Committee noted the late item, which was a comment about highway safety.

 

There were no public speakers.

 

Having duly noted all of the submissions made to it, the Committee debated the item, specifically the volume of the proposal and whether permitted development rights could mean the property could be increased in size in future.  The Committee also discussed the style of the proposal.

 

It was proposed by Councillor P Bales and seconded by Councillor G Bunn that there be a condition on the planning permission, should it be passed, to remove permitted development rights.  On being put to the Committee the motion was carried.

 

            RESOLVED that there be a condition on the planning permission, should it be passed, to remove permitted development rights.
