Minutes:

The Committee considered the applications in the plans list *. 

 

Note:   *List previously circulated; copy attached to the signed Minutes.

 

a)            No 1 on the Plans List (19/01189/OUT – Outline for the erection of 2 dwellings (revised scheme) – land at NGR 307538 116626 (North of Town Farm), Burlescombe).

 

The Principal Planning Officer outlined the contents of the report by way of presentation explaining that this was a revised scheme submitted to address previous highway issues.  He highlighted the location of the site and showed Members the proposed elevations and site sections of the proposal, the location of the Grade I listed church along with photographs from various aspects of the site.  He explained that part of the historic hedge would need to be removed and updated the meeting on the recent advice from Historic England.

 

Consideration was given to:

 

·         The views of the objector with regard to the impact of the application on the setting of the Grade I listed church, the previous highway objections, the heritage impact assessment, the work that would take place in an historical field and the removal of the hedge which had an ancient wall and that she felt that the application was not in line with policy DM27

·         The views of the Parish Council with regard to the fact that the previous objections submitted by the Parish Council still stood, the application would have an impact on the setting of the listed church, there were a lack of pavements in the area and no local amenities, the development would impact on local roads and the ancient field had been green space in the setting of the church

·         The views of the Ward Member with regard to the impact on the setting of the church, the lack of amenities in the village and that 2 additional houses was not a necessity for the village.

·         An archaeological search would be required

·         The historic value of the hedge and again the impact of the development on the setting of the listed church which included the statutory material considerations

 

It was therefore:

 

RESOLVED that: Members were minded to refuse the application and therefore wished to defer the application for an implications report to consider the proposed reasons for refusal, that of:

 

·         The impact of the proposal on the historic hedge/wall

·         The impact of the proposal on the historic location

·         The impact of the proposal on the setting of the Grade I listed church

·         The lack of pavements in the area and the narrowness of the roads.
