The PANEL VOTED that the application be APPROVED subject to conditions, against the officer’s recommendation.

 

The panel considered that the railings improved the setting of the Listed Building and would also have the benefit of opening the site up more allowing the public to visually enjoy the Listed Building more. These were considered to be public benefits that outweighed the less than substantial harm that the proposed house would have on the setting of the Listed Building.

 

Conditions were delegated to the Head of Planning but were to include appropriate tree conditions including tree protection and non dig driveway, as well as a condition securing the implementation and retention of the railings and removal of PD rights and all standard conditions.

 

A named vote was carried out, six councillors (Councillors Coppinger, Hunt, Kellaway, Love, Sharp and Smith) voted for the motion and four councillors voted against the motion (Councillors Clark, Stretton, Walters and Wilson).

 

(Speakers: The Panel was addressed by Mr Paul Butt, Applicants Agent).
