Issue - meetings

To consider application UTT/20/0050/FUL.

The Planning Officer said that this full application related to the demolition of the existing garage and the erection of 1 dwelling with associated parking and landscaping. 

The application was recommended for approval with conditions.

Councillor Bagnall said he had called in this application on behalf of the Parish Council. Their concerns were about the cumulative impact of development on the area, especially in relation to surface water and flooding.  He suggested that a site visit should be arranged and this application be deferred for this to take place.

In response to a question from Councillor Bagnall, the Planning Officer confirmed that Yew Tree Cottage, the new proposed dwelling and White House Farm and grounds were all owned by the applicant at the point of submission of the application, and he said there were no ownership issues or irregularities therein.  Any changes to the nearby gardens and boundaries were not an issue in terms of this application, as they did not affect the red line of the site.

Councillor Sutton said that Essex County Council had recommended that there was a proper flood impact assessment for the whole of Mole Hill Green.

Councillor Light proposed that the application be deferred for a site visit to be arranged.

Councillor Bagnall seconded the motion.

RESOLVED to defer the application. 

D Hyde (agent) spoke in favour of the application.

Due to time constraints Agenda items 8 – 12 could not be discussed at this time.

Meeting Closed at 3:00pm
