APPLICATIONS

 

CH/2017/1039/FA

Stampwell Farm, Oxford Road, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, HP9 2XD

 

The meeting was advised of one further letter of support being received from a contractor that had worked for the Church at another site. 

A further letter had been received from Troy Planning and Design on behalf of Chalfont St Peter Parish Council detailing a number of concerns including the impact on the Green Belt, Heritage implications and enabling development, design and landscape, use and sustainability.

It was also noted that Councillor Wertheim had forwarded an email to all Members attaching information he had received directly from the applicant’s agent, which did not raise any new material consideration not already addressed in the Officer Report. 

 

Speaking for the Parish Council, Councillor Hazel North

Speaking for the application, Rev Dr Francis Orr-Ewing

 

RESOLVED

 

Permission Refused with amendments to the wording of Reason 1 to make reference to the scale of development proposed including reference to the 8 houses, church, additional buildings and car park.  Also an addition to Reason two to include reference to Policy GB2.

 

An addendum report was circulated by officers to Members of the Planning Committee in advance of the meeting providing additional clarification on the Green Belt issues as set out in the Case Officer report and also in respect of the unauthorised development currently on site.

 

It was drawn to members attention that if they were minded to refuse planning permission, given that there are currently unauthorised uses on the site, in terms of the D2 uses of the three buildings the subject of the lapsed temporary permission and other structures including a substantial marque currently used to provide a church, it is considered necessary to consider formal action.

 

Whilst it is acknowledged that the application includes proposals beyond the current unauthorised development in that it does not include the new building works to replace that destroyed by fire nor the 8 new houses, the change of use and additional structures particularly in the form of the marque is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and has impact on the Green Belt and its openness as well as detracting from the setting of the listed building.  Further in the absence of highway improvements, the level of activity is considered detrimental to highway safety.

 

The Committee noted that unauthorised development was taking place on the site and noted that the Head of Planning and Economic Development has delegated authority given to officers to take enforcement action under the Constitution and officers would now be seeking to address the unauthorised development as considered necessary by the Head of Planning and Economic Development and having regard to any applicable statutory time-limits.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 38.
