Decision

Plan Number:

17/01191/FUL

D (INF)

Applicant:

Mr Brendan Joy

Proposal:

Redevelopment of site to provide detached building comprising 5 apartments, incorporating basement car parking, creation of vehicular access, access ramp, refuse store and landscaping works at 70 Ledborough Lane Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire  HP9 2DG

Notes:

1.      A site visit was undertaken by Members.

2.      There was no public speaking on this application

3.      The Planning Officer informed Members that when this application was originally submitted, over a year ago, it was considered that it fell within the development type of a ‘minor other’ application. Since the application was submitted, the Council had reviewed the national criteria for development types and now considered that this application fell within the definition of what constituted a major application for the purposes of consultation and advertisement. Officers confirmed that the application could not be determined by Members until the consultation period had ended.

4.      The Planning Officer also advised Members of a minor revision to condition 13 which should say "District" rather than "County" Planning Authority.

5.      Two further letters of objection had been received on 9 October 2018.

6.      The Planning Officer confirmed that the ridge height was comparable to other houses in the street.

7.      Clarification was sought by Members on the artificial vegetation screen.

 

Cllr D Anthony proposed that whilst he was happy for the decision to be deferred until after the consultation period had ended, due to the number of objections the application should be referred back to Planning Committee for determination rather than the decision being delegated to officers as recommended. This proposal was seconded by Cllr Lewis and agreed unanimously at a vote. It was accordingly

 

RESOLVED:

That the application be deferred until the end of the consultation period and be brought back to the next Planning Committee for consideration.

Delegated Arrangements on Planning Enforcement pdf icon PDF 37 KB

Minutes:

The Committee received a report which recommended changes to the delegation arrangements on Planning Enforcement matters to take account of the recent approval of the Local Enforcement Plan. Members of the Planning and Economic Development PAG had been consulted and had supported the recommended changes. The report would also be considered by the Cabinet before a recommendation was made to Full Council. The Appendix set out in tracked changes the recommended changes to the Scheme of Delegation. Chiltern District Council Planning Committee had also been supportive of the recommended changes.

 

Following discussion Members were also in agreement with the recommended changes. However, they emphasised that the Planning Committee and Local Members should be updated regularly on enforcement issues and use of the delegations. Members welcomed the delegated decision making which were based on national best practice and would ensure that officers could respond to enforcement issues in an effective and timely manner.

 

The Officer recommendation that the revised delegations as set out in the Appendix to the report be agreed and recommended to Full Council for approval was put to the Committee by the Chairman and agreed at a vote.

 

RESOLVED that the revised delegations as set out in the Appendix to the report be agreed and:-

 

RECOMMENDED to Full Council that the revised delegations as set out in the Appendix to the report be approved.
