Planning Application 17/00813/FUL - Oaklea, Tintinhull Road, Chilthorne Domer
Minutes:
Proposal: The use of land to form 2 No. pitches for mobile homes and the erection of 1 No. utility / washroom block per pitch.
The Development Manager introduced the report and advised that the proposed mobile homes and utility blocks were outside the development boundary, they were ancillary to the house and would not be seen from the road. A condition was proposed that the homes only be occupied by the immediate family and he recommended approval subject to a suitable section 106 agreement.
Mr D Lamb, the applicant, spoke is support of his application. He advised that the family had always stayed together and he and his wife now relied on family members for support with health issues.
The Ward Member, Councillor Jo Roundell Greene, spoke in support of the application. She said there were no Highway or landscaping objections and proposed that recommendation 3 be amended to ‘solely’ by the immediate family of the applicant.
During discussion it was requested that an additional condition requesting that the foul water strategy be agreed in advance of occupation of the mobile homes. The Development Manager also confirmed that the permission would be personal to the Lamb family only and any changes would require a new planning application.
On being put to the vote the proposal to approve the application was carried unanimously.
