In accordance with the Council’s public speaking protocol for planning committee, Andrew Dennison (Applicant’s Agent), Cllr Kevin Jackson (Objector – Sutton Bonington Parish Council) and Councillor R Upton (acting as Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee.

DECISION

PLANNING PERMISSION BE REFUSED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS

1.       The proposed development would be accessed via a shared highway and public bridleway that is substandard in width and in a poor condition. The proposal would result in increased vehicle movements and an intensification of the use of Pasture Lane, leading to further degradation of the highway and bridleway. The width of the highway is insufficient to allow a two-way flow of traffic. The proposed development would therefore be served by an unacceptable highway access to the detriment of highway safety and public amenity.

2.        The proposal would be contrary to Policy 1 (Development Requirements) of the Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies, which states that permission for new development, changes of use, conversion or extensions would normally be granted provided that, inter alia;

“a suitable means of access can be provided to the development without detriment to the amenity of adjacent properties or highway safety and the provision of parking is in accordance with advice provided by the Highways Authority;"

As Ward Councillor for the following application, Councillor C Thomas removed herself from the meeting and did not take part in the following discussion.
