36.

PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

To receive any questions relating to items on the Agenda from members of the public and replies thereto.

 

Note:   A maximum of 30 minutes is allowed for this item.

 

Minutes:

Cllr Simon Fouracres from Bampton Town Council referring to item 8 (Major Applications) questioned the process if an application was already at appeal and that another application for the same site had been submitted. If the appeal was determined how would that affect the more recent application on the same site?

 

The Area Planning officer stated that the application North of Frog Street, Bampton to which Cllr Fouracres referred was at appeal and the same application had been resubmitted, both would need to be dealt with separately. If the current application had not been decided before the appeal decision was issued, and the appeal was allowed, that would affect the Planning Officer’s consideration of the current application as planning permission would have already been granted. At the present time the application was delegated for an officer decision, but the application would come before Planning Committee if the officer recommendation was to grant planning permission.

APPLICATION 19/00573/FULL - VARIATION OF CONDITIONS 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, AND 8 OF PLANNING PERMISSION 17/00910/FULL, TO ALLOW SUBSTITUTION PLANS, 10 MAYFAIR, TIVERTON (00-15-04) pdf icon PDF 204 KB

To consider a report of the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration with regard to this application.

Minutes:

The Committee had before it a * report of the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration regarding the above application which had been deferred from the previous meeting to allow for further discussions to take place with the applicant with regard to the footway, the bin store and its location and how refuse collection would be best managed.

 

The Area Planning officer outlined the contents of the report referring to the issues raised at the previous meeting; informing those present that the scheme did not include a footpath but a tarmaced shared surface and that the drive would not be adopted by the Highway Authority but was being built to an adoptable standard up to the turning head to allow for access to the 5 dwellings. Discussions had taken place with the Waste Service with regard to waste collection. Waste Services had confirmed that if the access drive was built to an adoptable standard and was suitably insured with indemnity insurance, refuse vehicles would access the site. There would therefore be no need for bin storage  within the site at the junction between the access drive and Mayfair.  She highlighted by way of presentation a revised drawing supplied by the applicant which depicted the detail of the proposed access, the site layout plans and photographs from various aspects of the site.

 

Consideration was given to:

 

·         The access road would only benefit the 5 dwellings on the site and there would be no thoroughfare onto the land beyond.

·         The shared surface and whether there would be any road markings

·         The documents available on ‘Public Access’

·         The response of the Lead Local Flood Authority

·         Who would be responsible for the maintenance of the roadway

·         The views of the applicant’s agent with regard to reducing the capital works required and the carbon footprint of the site, the quality of the build and the work that had taken place with the local Highway Authority.

 

 

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to conditions as recommended by the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration.

 

(Proposed by Cllr D J Knowles and seconded by Cllr L J Cruwys)
