To consider application UTT/19/2159/FUL.

Councillor Lemon left the room for consideration of this item.

The Development Manager gave a summary of the report which recommended approval of the continued use of B2/B8 building, ancillary buildings and associated yard area. The building itself and immediate curtilage benefitted from planning consent for B2/B8 use, but ancillary buildings had been added since this consent was granted; hence the application was part retrospective.

Councillor Fairhurst expressed concern about Green Belt encroachment and objected to the resolution.

Councillor Storah proposed approval of this application.

Councillor Sutton seconded this motion.

RESOLVED to approve this application subject to the conditions in the report, and the replacement of conditions 8 and 10 with the following:

8) Within 3 months of the date of this permission, a scheme indicating the defined area for the parking of buses and coaches associated with the authorised use shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority. Within 28 days of the formal approval of any details, this approved area should not be used for any other use apart from the storage of coaches and buses associated with the approved use. No buses or coaches shall be stored outside of this defined approved area. Thereafter the approved details shall be adhered to unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority.

REASON: To protect the character of the area in accordance with Policies S6, S7, GEN 2 and GEN4 of the Uttlesford Adopted Local Plan 2005.

10) No additional external lighting shall be installed at the site without the prior written approval of the Local Planning Authority.

REASON: To protect the character of the area in accordance with Policies S6, S7, GEN 2 and GEN4 of the Uttlesford Adopted Local Plan 2005

Councillor Lemon returned to the room.
