The minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 1 April 2019, to be confirmed as a correct record.

RESOLVED:  The minutes of the meeting held on 1 April 2019 were AGREED as an accurate record and signed by the Chairman.

Ms C Kelham, Planning Officer, Buckinghamshire County Council made the Committee aware of the following points before providing a presentation:

·         Since going to print, approximately 41 further objections had been received to the planning application.

·         It had also been questioned as to how the planning application was advertised. Ms Kelham confirmed that the application had been advertised as required by the regulations.  In accordance with the relevant regulations, a site notice was displayed near the land to which the application related for not less than 21 days.  The application was publicised in the Slough, Eton and Windsor Observer newspaper which was circulated in the locality to which the application related.  The required information was publicised on a website maintained by the local planning authority.   In addition, a number of nearby residents were notified, including those living at Fox Cottage and Deepwood House.

·         Comments were received from the Local Member,  Lin Hazel, objecting to the development on 19 May 2019 as follows:

"As the Local Member I wish to submit my objections to this application; the proposed development is inappropriate within the green belt.  I understand that the application site does not have any planning records or a certificate of lawfulness.  I would refer to paragraph 30 in the report South Bucks District Council’s (SBDC) Planning Officer objection to the application on the grounds that the proposed works would adversely impact upon the openness of the green belt and the amenity of local properties etc.  The applicants are in full operation contrary to receiving planning permission, the development is located in a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) impact zone,  please refer to para 7.  Health and safety issues are of a major concern, HGV movements in particular. Noise and dust impact of the neighbouring properties are also a concern, all of these issues will dramatically reduce the quality of life for local residents and users.  Bearing in mind the antisocial impact this application will have on the environment and the contravention of the applicant’s total disregard of lawful planning permission, I would ask you to support the Officer’s recommendation for refusal."

·         Ms Kelham confirmed that the locations of Fox Cottage and Deepwood House were mentioned in paragraph 6 of the officer’s report and had been taken into consideration. Fox Cottage was approximately 50 metres to the south-west of the application site yard and adjacent to the site access road. Deepwood House was approximately 175 metres from the entrance to the application site.

• Following information received on the morning of the meeting from the SBDC Environmental Health Officer, Ms Kelham stated that she was no longer satisfied that there was sufficient information to assess the impact of the development on noise. Notwithstanding this, the recommendation for refusal based on the Green Belt still stood.

Ms Kelham provided a presentation and highlighted the following points:

·         The development was located to the north of Farnham Lane and west of Crown Lane in Farnham Royal, South Bucks.

·         To the east of the development  ...  view the full minutes text for item 4.
