PO

Applicant:

Mr D Crisp

Proposal:

Conversion of stable building to a residential dwelling at Old Oak Farm, Parsonage Lane, Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire SL2 3PA

1.      A site visit was undertaken by Members.

2.      Speaking on behalf of the objector: Mr Philip Norvill and Mr Tristan Miles and on behalf of the Applicant: Mr Robert Clarke. The District Councillor Dev Dhillon also spoke against the application.

3.      The Planning Officer verbally updated Members on two late letters of objections which covered similar areas to previous representations. An amendment was made to paragraph 34 of the report which referred to a survey; this survey was carried out in August last year not August this year. In terms of working with the applicant (Paragraph 37) officers had sought amendments on the details submitted. With regard to Condition 8 reference was made to a new access but this was an amendment of the existing access.

4.      The Committee proposed additional conditions relating to access arrangements and the hardstanding on the site to give a softer appearance rather than tarmac and also landscaping on the curtilage boundaries.

Councillor P Hogan proposed that the application be deferred to enable Officer to negotiate with the agent/application with a view to agreeing obligations to be incorporated into a Section 106 agreement prior to the application being resubmitted to the Committee. The Section 106 agreement should include an obligation requiring the removal of existing temporary buildings on the site and the resubmission should include amendments to conditions and the ‘working with the applicant’ paragraph as outlined above. In addition, further planting and landscaping details should be sought from the agent. A further site visit was not required. The proposal was seconded by Councillor J Jordan and agreed at a vote.

RESOLVED

That the application be deferred so that a Section 106 agreement could be completed prior to the application being resubmitted to the Committee for consideration.
