Formation of vehicular access and hardstanding.

This application was the subject of a site visit.

Members voted unanimously in favour of the motion to approve the application, contrary to officer’s recommendation for the following reason:

·      Taking into account the advice of the Highway officer, it was considered that, on balance, the proposal, including its impact on drainage, would not result in a level of harm sufficient to refuse planning permission and would be outweighed by the benefits of providing parking off the highway carriageway. This was subject to a condition requiring that the development be constructed in accordance with the approved drawing and constructed in accordance with the Buckinghamshire Council Guide Note, Private Vehicle Access, within the public highway.

Speaking on behalf of the Town Council: Councillor J Chhokar

Speaking in favour of the application: Ms L Puddifoot

Speaking as the applicant: Mrs S Hampshire

It was proposed by Councillor S Chhokar and seconded by Councillor A Wood.
