The Borough Planning Manager was asked to provide follow up advice to the applicant.  It was also noted that the Officer report erroneously referred to two applications in the planning history which did not relate to this site.

Cllr Mrs Hunt moved to approve the motion on the basis that the design was acceptable and the removal of the stables and outbuildings amounted to very special circumstances, this was seconded by Cllr Kellaway.  Three Councillors (Councillors Coppinger, Hunt and Kellaway) voted for this motion. Seven Councillors (Councillor Burbage, Hill, Love, Smith, Stretton, Walters and Wilson) voted against the motion and Councillor Clark abstained from voting and the motion fell.  During the debate the Borough Planning Manager advised that a pragmatic approach had been taken to not include the volume/additional floor area in the calculation.  This was noted by the Panel.

The PANEL VOTED that the application be PERMITTED against the officers recommendation and be DELEGATED to the Officers to agree conditions.

Councillor Smith put forward a motion that the application be approved contrary to Officer recommendation and this was seconded by Councillor Coppinger.  Cllr Smith considers that Policy F1 of the Plan was met as, like an application for a site at Velmead and the Chef Peking which was similar, flood mitigation can be sufficiently provided.  Other Members of the Panel agreed that their local knowledge is that there is not a flood issue in this area and the maps held by the Environment Agency are wrong having not been updated to reflect the Jubilee River effect.

(Ten Councillors voted for approval of the application, against the officers recommendation, Councillors Burbage, Clark, Coppinger, Hill, Hunt, Kellaway, Love, Smith, Walters and Wilson. Councillors Stretton abstained from voting.)
