    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

     Councillor Reeves re-entered the room.  

      

    Councillor Walters proposed a motion to refuse planning permission as the application, by reason of its form and siting, together with the design, would result in a form of development which would neither preserve nor enhance the character or appearance of the site and wider conservation area for which no public benefits have been identified which would outweigh the identified less than substantial harm. The proposal was therefore contrary to paragraph 208 of the NPPF (2023) and Borough Local Plan policies QP3 and HE1. Councillor Hill seconded the motion.  

      

    Officers highlighted two additional reasons for refusal due to the lack of completion of a legal agreement to secure carbon off set and biodiversity net gain contributions. 

     

    The result was unanimous approval of the motion. 

      

    Agreed: To refuse planning permission because  the proposed development was contrary to QP3,HE1, NR2 and SP2 of the Borough Local Plan.

      

    The committee heard from Helen Cocksedge, Objector, Jack Douglas, Other Councillors.
