To approve as a correct record and the Chair to sign the Minutes of Planning Committee held on 5 November 2019.

(a)     Report No PM/15/19-20 – Development Management Applications

(b)     Report No PM/16/19-20 – Planning Appeals – Lodged and Determined

The Committee considered Report No PM/15/19-20/AK of the Planning Manager – Development Management together with visual presentations for each of the following applications.

NED/19/00918/RM

The report to Committee explained that a reserved matters planning application (pursuant to 16/00749/OL) had been submitted for the residential development of eight  dwellings on land opposite Wistanes Green, Matlock Road, Wessington for Mr Robert Proctor. The application had been referred to the Committee by Councillor C Cupit, who had raised concerns about it.

Two objectors exercised their right to attend the meeting and spoke against the application.

The agent exercised their right to attend the meeting and spoke in support of the application.

No supporters spoke in favour of the application.

The Committee was directed to the recent late comments/update report which had been issued the afternoon prior to the meeting.

Committee considered the application. In this context they considered whether the proposed development conformed to the outline approval, the Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). 

Members discussed the application. They acknowledged the road safety and other concerns that had been raised since outline approval had been granted. They also noted the provisions of the Wessington Neighbourhood Plan, which had come into force since the outline application had been approved.

Members recognised that as the principle of residential development on the site had been accepted with the grant of outline consent, including the access into the site, these issues could not be revisited at this time.  The key policy issues which they considered in determining the application focused on safeguarding the character of the area and safeguarding residential amenity. In particular, they discussed the layout, scale, appearance and landscaping of the development. 

RESOLVED – That application number NED/19/00918/RM be approved in line with officer recommendations, with the final wording of conditions delegated to the Planning Manager – Development Management.
