Members noted the Schedule of Planning Applications.

Development of 68 homes and associated car parking, public open space and infrastructure

The Area Lead Officer (North/East) presented the application as detailed in the agenda and with the aid of a power point presentation showing the site and proposed plan to include a mixture of social and open market houses.

He clarified the planning application site and the adjacent site which had outline approval for a doctor’s surgery.

He informed Members that the site had been previously affected by flooding and explained that he believed that this was due to a poorly maintained ditch which had become overwhelmed. Since this, the ditch had been re-engineered and large culverts had been installed under the roads. He had been assured that the development will not cause problems with flooding or drainage.

He explained to Members that;

·         The Conservation Officer supports the development and the modern design of dwellings.

·         There was a high level of parking on site.

·         The developer had agreed to contribute £30,000 towards a new footpath.

·         Bruton Town Council and the Bruton Trust had been heavily involved with the application

·         The developer had agreed to the Sports, Arts and Leisure planning obligations.

Ms J Shipp spoke in objection to the footpath element of the scheme. She was pleased that a footpath was proposed within the development but wanted to see the footpath provided straight away and build at the same time as the houses and with more suitable materials, not gravel which was proposed. She believed that the development would increase traffic on Quaperlake Street by 10-12% and that the already busy road would become a more dangerous route for children walking to school.

Mr H Sedman, architect for the development noted that this was a bespoke scheme which had benefited from large amounts of community involvement and engagement and no objections had been received from statutory consultees.

The aim was to create a development which Bruton could be proud of. He highlighted that the scheme would deliver a pedestrian crossing on Frome Road as well as financial contributions. He hoped that Members would be in favour of the scheme as no technical or environmental objections had been received.

Mr M Meyer, agent, informed the Committee that the planning of this development of energy efficient homes started 5 years ago and the site was chosen following consultation. The aim was to build a development fit for the future, to improve drainage and to improve the links with the town centre. He highlighted that outline approval had been secured for a doctor’s surgery on the adjoining site and offered his thanks to the Planning Officer.

Cllr Anna Groskop, Ward Member spoke in support of the application. She agreed that many years of consultation had been put into the planning application and commented that all the views had been well recorded in the report. She welcomed the additional social housing which the scheme would bring to Bruton and suggested that the social homes were allocated to local residents or those  ...  view the full minutes text for item 141.

Erection of a dwelling and detached garage to include addition of a first floor balcony on west elevation, addition of a window on east elevation, adjustment of roof light positions and adjustment of ridge height 

The Planning Officer presented his report to the Committee with the aid of a power point presentation. He informed the Committee that there had been a further three letters of objection received from existing objectors emphasising points already raised and querying procedures.

The Planning Officer explained that this was a retrospective application to regularise works which had been carried out incorrectly and that the images contained within his presentation were up to date images showing the works which were nearing completion. 

He summarised the amendments to the approved permission;

·         The new dwelling has been built approximately 870mm higher than approved

·         An additional window/alterations to roof lights

·         Slight amendments to garage

·         Creation of a balcony

He informed the Committee that he recommended that the application be approved as detailed in his report.

Mr T Gill, Chairman of Charlton Horethorne Parish Council, noted that following a site visit which he had attended, the neighbour’s garden could not be seen from the upstairs windows or from the balcony.

He informed the Committee that he visited several of the neighbours to assess the impact of the proposal and that the Parish Council raise no objection to the application, but recommended that the conditions in the officer report were included.

Mr D Hook, a resident representing around 30 objectors, expressed the concern that they disagreed with the officer’s report and they considered the new dwelling did adversely impact neighbours and was overbearing, overlooking and over-shadowing to adjoining properties. He highlighted to Members that the dwelling was visible the Conservation Area of Charlton Horethorne. He expressed his disappointment that this was a retrospective planning application and noted the Planning Department had been made aware of the errors of the building several months previously and felt that enforcement action should have been taken.

The Committee were then addressed by Ms J Peet, Mr K Gudgeon and Mr L Grant who spoke in support of the application.

Their comments included;

·         The dwelling added interest to this part of Charlton Horethorne

·         Dwelling would only be seen in winter months when vegetation died back

·         Roof of new dwelling was no higher than surrounding existing properties

·         The letters of objection received do not represent the village as a whole

·         The application was for a minor correction and the dwelling was not much different to the original application

Mr P Lynch, applicant, informed the Committee that this was his first self-build home and that he had endeavoured to comply with the planning conditions. He explained that the incorrect datum point had been used and that this was the reason that the dwelling had been built higher than approved.

He pointed out to Members that he had agreed to erect a 2.5m high fence and that 4 mature trees would be planted to ensure screening from North Road.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 142.

Demolition of Part Wall, Outbuilding and Gable End, refurbishment of The Red House, erection of three further dwellings and alterations to vehicular access

The Planning Officer presented his report to the Committee with the aid of a power point presentation. He informed the Committee that there had been no updates to the report.

Members were advised that access to the site would be similar to the previous scheme and that Somerset County Council had raised no objections. He also pointed out that the Conservation Officer and the Ecologist were satisfied with the proposal.

The Planning Officer confirmed to Members that he was recommending that approval be granted.

Ms P Peppin, representative for Castle Cary Town Council, addressed the Committee. She advised the Committee that she was delighted with the original scheme for 3 houses but was less happy with the revised scheme. She explained that she would like to see a protected footpath route from the Red House site, through the BMI site to the Town Centre. She appreciated that there was a badger sett present, but though that this link could still be made.

Mr J Paterson, Architect, explained that the development had been carefully designed and that the access had been retained and widened as an improvement.

He highlighted the amendments which had been made to the application were modest and were mostly following the advice of the Conservation Officer, who supported the application.

In response to comments concerning a footpath, he confirmed it was not possible due to the presence of a badger sett.

Councillor Henry Hobhouse, Ward Member, spoke in support of the application. He would like to see work commencing on site and hoped that the application would be approved.

Councillor Nick Weeks, Ward Member, expressed that he would like to have seen a footpath through the site.

Following a short discussion it was proposed to approve the application as per the officer recommendation and on being put the vote, was carried 7 votes in favour, 1 against and 1 abstention.

RESOLVED:

That planning application 15/04029/FUL be approved subject to;

a)         The prior completion of a section 106 agreement or unilateral undertaking (in a form acceptable to the Council's solicitor(s)) before the decision notice granting planning permission is issued to:-

1)         Secure a contribution of £20 per square metre of internal floor space towards the provision of affordable housing in the district.

b) The following conditions:

Justification

01.       The site is within the development area of a market town and the principle of residential development is therefore considered acceptable. The residential development of the site would respect the character of the conservation area with no demonstrable harm to the setting of the nearby listed building, highway safety, protected species, or residential amenity. The scheme will contribute appropriately to the provision of affordable housing within the district. As such the proposal complies with local plan policies SD1, SS1, SS5, TA5, TA6, HG4, EQ2, EQ3, and EQ4 and the aims and objectives of the NPPF.

Carry out alterations and conversion of agricultural building to residential and business use

The Planning Officer presented her report to Members with the aid of a power point presentation showing plans of the proposal and photographs of the site.

She explained to Members that the application was seeking to re-use a redundant building which is generally supported by Planning Policy. It was her view that the benefits outweighed the concerns for this existing building and she was therefore recommending the application for approval.

Ms L Elson, a representative of CPRE, spoke in objection to the scheme. She agreed with the views of the Conservation Officer which were detailed in the report and that this wonderful area should be protected.

Mr A Dodge spoke in support of the proposal. He was a resident of the area and in his view that this was a high quality conversion which included a good use of timber. He was in support of the minimal changes to the barn and hoped that the application would be approved to encourage a local family to live and work in the area.

Mr Bourne, applicant, explained to Members that it was his vision to both re-use and to strengthen the character of the redundant building and that he would ensure a high quality finish.

He also advised that;

·         He had obtained pre-application advice and had incorporated the suggestions into the scheme.

·         The landscaping on site would include native species

·         The paddock would be retained

·         A Barn Owl box would be included

·         The boundary walls would be restored and enhanced

Mr D Carpendale, the agent, commented that the application followed pre-application advice and highlighted that it was a conversion, not a new building.

He informed members that;

·         The Parish Council had raised no objections

·         Traffic levels will be low

·         The application safeguards the character of the building

Councillor Sarah Dyke-Bracher, Ward Member, spoke of her concerns about the elevated and isolated location. She noted the building was close to the Monarchs Way and was concerned that there was a potential to cause harm to the area.

However, it was her belief that the benefits outweigh the concerns and thought that the applicant aspired to enhance the building and would help to sustain a rural economy.

During the discussion, concerns were raised about the glazed gable and issues of light pollution and it was suggested that blinds or tinted glass be installed to limit this. The Area Lead explained that we could not control the internal furnishings of the building but suggested the glazing could be controlled through the materials condition recommended in the officer’s report.

Following a short discussion, it was proposed to approve the application, as per the officers recommendation, and on being put to the vote, was carried unanimously.

RESOLVED:

That planning application 15/02951/FUL be approved as the per the officers recommendation.

Justification

This live work conversion scheme, by reason of its nature, layout, design and materials, is considered to represent a sustainable form of development that  ...  view the full minutes text for item 144.

Proposed classes B1/B2 Industrial Development with associated access

The Planning Officer presented his report to the Committee, with the aid of a power point presentation. He updated Members that the Area Development Manager now also supported the application.

The Planning Officer explained that the Landscape Officer raised no concern to the proposal in principle and Somerset County Council had raised no highway objections. He explained that Planning Policy did not support this scheme and that, for the reasons contained within the report, he recommended that the application be refused.

Mr A Rousell, a representative of Cadbury Business Park explained that there were concerns over the access to the site and that the legal right of access was much smaller than the existing access. This site access was for the current use only and the access for the proposal was neither permitted, nor deliverable.

Mr M Williams, Planning Advisor for the applicant, explained that the application looked to provide rural jobs in a building with a long standing commercial use and that it was no longer possible to use the building as a helicopter depot.

He noted that;

·         Support had been received to the application

·         The scheme will provide employment

·         It was a small scale development

·         Close to a classified A road.

Councillor Nick Weeks, Ward Member, offered his support for the application. He commented that the site had a good link to the A303 and that the proposal was a good use of the building.

RESOLVED:

Justification
