Recommended for Approval

The Head of Planning and Building Control recommended that in respect of application 3/22/1142/HH, planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report.

The Chairman referred to the constitution and explained that the application was before Committee as the partner of the applicant was a Member. The Service Manager (Development Management) drew the attention of the Committee to the addendum where Officers had proposed an informative on the planning permission should Members be supportive of the recommendation for approval.

The Service Manager (Development Management) summarised the application and set out the reasons for the additional informative in the addendum. She said that the principle of the application was acceptable as it did not constitute a change of use, the use being still ancillary to the main house and advised that a tree survey had been completed as well as an impact assessment to the satisfaction of the landscape officer.

The Service Manager (Development Management) said that the proposed development was compliant with the relevant policies of the East Herts District Plan and the Bengeo Neighbourhood Plan and the wider aims of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). She said that the application was therefore recommended for approval subject to conditions and the additional informative.

Councillor Rutland-Barsby proposed and Councillor Crystall seconded, a motion that application 3/22/1142/HH be granted planning permission, subject to the conditions detailed in the report and subject to the additional informative included in the additional representations summary.

After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.

RESOLVED – that in respect of application 3/22/1142/HH, planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report and subject to the additional informative included in the additional representations summary.
