Minutes:

The Chairman and Councillors Bartlett, Harwood, Kimmance, Munford, Round and Wilby stated that they had been lobbied.

 

The Committee considered the report of the Head of Planning and Development.

 

Mr Walker, an objector, and Mr Hughes, for the applicant, addressed the meeting.

 

Contrary to the recommendation of the Head of Planning and Development, the Committee agreed to refuse permission.  In making this decision, the Committee considered that the proposal would result in the overdevelopment of the site and have a harmful impact on the character and appearance of the Holy Trinity Conservation Area and the setting of the nearby listed buildings; the precise wording of the reason for refusal to be finalised by the Head of Planning and Development acting under delegated powers.

 

RESOLVED:  That permission be refused as it is considered that the proposal will result in the overdevelopment of the site and have a harmful impact on the character and appearance of the Holy Trinity Conservation Area and the setting of the nearby listed buildings; the precise wording of the reason for refusal to be finalised by the Head of Planning and Development acting under delegated powers.
