All
Members except Councillors Parfitt-Reid, Perry and Spooner stated
that they had been lobbied.
The
Committee considered the report of the Head of Planning and
Development.
In
presenting the report, the Senior Planning Officer advised the
Committee that with regard to land ownership issues, a number of
representations had been received that week. To clarify, it was considered that the boundary
wall to the front of the proposed houses was within the application
outline, and there was no reason to doubt what was stated on the
ownership certificate after reviewing Land Registry titles sent by
the agent. It was not the
responsibility of the Officers to form a definitive view as to
whether the ownership certificate was correct or not, but on the
face of it, it did appear to be correct.
Mrs
Kennard, an objector, Councillor Howells of Detling Parish Council, Mrs Ellis, the applicant,
and Councillor de Wiggondene-Sheppard (Visiting Member) addressed
the meeting.
RESOLVED: That
permission be granted subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report.
